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. Paragraph 2.2 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.

This procedure is a modification of the urban driving cycles noted in SAE J1082 and which is run on a suitable road or test track. The procedure yields cold start/warm-up fuel economy values indicative of consumer level at the ambient condition of the test. Within referenced limitations, the procedure can be utilized to determine the fuel economy differential among vehicles or between vehicle changes.

This procedure incorporates a modified driving cycle replicate of consumer operation as contained and shown in SAE J1082b (January, 1979) and which is run on a suitable road or test track. The procedure yields cold start and warm-up fuel economy values indicative of consumer level at the ambient condition of the test. Within referenced limitations, the procedure can be utilized to determine the fuel economy differential among vehicles or between vehicle changes.

To subjectively evaluate engine starting behavior and driveability characteristics of a motor vehicle which has been soaked at ambient temperature for a given time period after attaining a stabilized engine coolant temperature. This SAE Recommended Practice also defines driveability defects and the rating system.

To define significant driving situations involving acceleration, establish meaningful measures of such accelerations, and develop test procedures that will measure a vehicle’s maximum performance capabilities during those driving situations.

To define a test procedure that when conducted will provide a repeatable measure of a vehicle's maximum acceleration performance.
