Baseline Tests of the GE-100 Centennial Electric Passenger Vehicle

摘要

The GE-100 Centennial electric vehicle is a one-of-a-kind prototype. Results of performance tests, speed, acceleration, gradeability, range, and efficiencies are presented. The GE-100 is powered by eighteen 6-volt lead-acid batteries driving a 16.3-kW dc series motor through an EV-1C controller. The motor drives the wheels through a chain drive to the differential. No regenerative braking was provided. (ERA citation 11:027594)
