The Roadway-Powered Electric Vehicle (RPEV) impact analysis program is described, and the results to date are presented. Expressions for the number of RPEVs and miles of powered roadways required to accomplish the desired replacement VMT in a USA have been derived, as well as a procedure to determine hourly energy demand resulting from using RPEVs and powered roadways. Conversions factors from VMT to electric energy have also been determined. The input and output data requirements for RECAPS have been determined, as well as the formats for the data for both the EPRI-supported effort, and the simpler, non-EPRI-supported program. The differences between the two programs are also discussed, and data are presented on the average VMT in each major utility service area within the US.
