Performance testing has been completed on four electric vehicles: the Grumman-Olson Kubvan, SCT Electric (VW) Pickup, Jet Industries Electrica, and VW Electrotransporter Bus. The tests performed included vehicle dc energy consumption and driving range at constant speeds and on the SAE J227a C cycle, on-road driving range, hill climbing, maximum acceleration, top speed, and braking performance. Descriptions of the vehicles tested and comparisons of major performance parameters on all four vehicles are presented. This testing was performed at the TVA Electric Vehicle Test Facility.
