This SAE Recommended Practice establishes uniform procedures for testing electric battery-powered vehicles which are capable of being operated on public and private roads. It is the intent of this document to provide standard tests which will allow various performance characteristics of electric vehicles to be cross-compared on a common basis in specifications, technical papers, and engineering discussions. The tests concern attributes of the total vehicle system rather than those of its subsystems and components. Tests of components such as batteries are the subject of separate procedures. The road tests specified in this document are recommended for use whenever possible particularly to establish vehicle performance specifications. The dynamometer procedures are included primarily to facilitate development testing. Section 3 provides definitions of terminology used in this document.

This SAE Recommended Practice establishes uniform procedures for testing electric battery-powered vehicles which are capable of being operated on public and private roads, and is to replace the range and vehicle energy economy sections SAE J227a. The procedure addresses electric vehicles (EVs) only. It is the intent of this practice to provide standard tests which will allow for determination of energy consumption and range based on the Federal Emission Test Procedure (FTP) and the Highway Fuel Economy Test Procedure (HWFET). Realistic alternatives should be allowed for new technology. Performance is judged on the total vehicle system and the battery. Dynamometer test procedures are specified in this document in order to minimize the test-to-test variations inherent with track testing and to adhere to standard industry practice for energy consumption and range testing. Section 2 provides definitions of terminology used in this document.
