A program plan for enhancing the acceptability of electric cars in the US so as to reduce the consumption of petroleum-based fuels is outlined. The program described in this plan will result in the development and delivery to ERDA of two Integrated Test Vehicles incorporating technology improvements for energy-efficient operation. The Integrated Test Vehicles will meet the ERDA Near-Term Objectives and will be designed for adaptation to future production requirements specified by Public Law 94-413. The electric car resulting from this program must be suitable for future production at a cost comparable to conventional (internal combustion engine) autos. When produced in quantities of 100,000 per year or more, the electric car should be available at a consumer price equivalent to $5000 in 1975 dollars. Life cycle cost must not exceed $.15 per mile, based upon a ten-year life-span and 10,000 miles of operation per year. Performance objectives specified for the electric car include a range of 75 miles in simulated urban driving, acceleration from 0 to 30 mph in nine seconds and a top speed of 60 mph. Hill-climbing capability on a one-mile-long grade will be sufficient to maintain a 50 mph on a 5% grade. These performance requirements must be met using an improved state-of-the art (ISOA) lead-acid battery which delivers an energy density of 44 Wh/Kg. In order to meet these performance objectives, significant improvements in design and efficiency are required as compared to present commercially available vehicles.
