Over 700 electric vehicles have been in operation at more than 70 US sites since 1981. Data are collected on their operation. Analyses of these data indicate that the energy use of electric vehicles varies with temperature, age of battery, driver behavior, terrain, vehicle operating speed and charging method, as well as with vehicle characteristics such as weight. Appropriate missions for electric vehicles have been identified, and many improvements to vehicle and component design suggested as a result of this program. Highlights of component tests now underway are described, as well as field tests of batteries. (ERA citation 09:028712)
