INEEL Completes EV Performance Testing

The Department of Energy (DOE) recently announced its Field
Operations Program at the Idaho National Engineering and
Environmental Laboratory (INEEL) has completed baseline performance
testing of the new General Motors EV1 and Chevrolet S-10 electric
vehicles (EVs). Both of the vehicles feature nickel metal hydride
batteries from Ovonic Energy Products.

DOE said the EV1 is the first vehicle to have a range in excess of
200 miles. In addition, the S-10 EV with nickel metal hydride
batteries traveled twice as far as the lead acid battery-powered
S-10 model previously tested. The EV1 has a single charge range of
140 miles during the driving cycle test, 221 miles at a constant
speed of 45 miles-per-hour (mph), and 161 miles at a constant speed
of 60 mph. The EV has a charging efficiency of 2.7
miles-per-kilowatt-hour (m/kWh) and a drive cycle efficiency of 5.6
m/kWh, and accelerates from zero to 50 mph in 6.3 seconds.

The S-10 was able to achieve a single charge range of 95 miles
during the driving cycle test, 131 miles at a constant speed of 45
mph, 88 miles at a constant speed of 60 mph, and accelerated from
zero to 50 mph in 9.9 seconds. The pickup has a charging efficiency
of 1.3 m/kWh and a drive cycle efficiency of 3.6 m/kWh.

Testing was performed by Phoenix, AZ-based Electric Transportation
Applications. Contact: Jim Francfort, INEEL, phone 208-526-6787,
