The Jet Industries Electra Van 600 is a multipurpose utility electric vehicle based on a Subaru Van modified to use an electric motor and battery propulsion system. The vehicle was tested 27 July 1978 to 18 September 1978. Complete test results are contained in Section V. The test results are summarized below: Acceleration: 50 km/h(31.1 mi/h) in 14 s. Range: SAE J227a/B Cycle on level (/sup + -/ 1-percent) terrain: 62 km(38.5 mi) 181 cycles. Forward speed capability: Maintained 70 km/h (43.5 mi/h) for more than 5 min. Gradeability at speed: At 25 km/h (15.5 mi/h) can traverse a 13.8-percent grade at 80-percent depth of discharge (DOD). Gradeability limit: Vehicles should start and climb forward on a 35.6-percent grade for at least 20 s at 80-percent DOD. Reverse gradeability has been calculated at 34.8-percent.
