Performance of a Battery Electric Vehicle in the Cold Climate and Hilly Terrain of Vermont

摘要

The goal of this research project was to determine the performance of a battery electric vehicle (BEV) in the cold climate and hilly terrain of Vermont. For this study, a 2005 Toyota Echo was converted from an internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle to a BEV by EVermont and leased to the University of Vermont (UVM) for testing.
