The near-term battery programme, under the auspices of DOE's Electrochemical System Division, is providing direct support to the electric vehicle commercialization (EVC) project; the goal for this project is, in part, to produce electric-vehicle batteries suitable for commercialization in 1986. For the EVC project, it was established that a vehicle range of 100 miles in urban (stop-and-go) driving for a commuter car (50 miles for electric vans) is necessary for achieving this commercialization goal. Tests of state-of-art vehicles, such as the DOE/ETV-1 vehicle designed and fabricated by General Electric and Chrysler, and stationary tests of batteries with the urban driving profile (SAE J227a/D) are used to establish baseline performance data; from these data, development goals for the near-term batteries have been established. The three near-term battery candidates receiving major development emphasis are the improved lead-acid, nickel-iron, and nickel-zinc systems.
