Argonne Study Examines Impact of Real World Drive Cycles on Efficiency and Cost of Different PHEV Configurations

Green Car Congress

For drive cycles, the Argonne team used the Kansas City data collected in 2005 by the US EPA, which instrumented more than 100 drivers and collected their driving statistics for one day. To maximize charge depletion, the engine only provides the requested wheel power without recharging the battery. Optimum engine power strategy.

NEDC Vs WLTP: How EV Ranges Are Estimated Around The Globe & Why Bother About The Tests

Get Electric Vehicle

In comparison to the NEDC, the WLTP tests cars at faster speeds, different shift points, and more realistic temperatures. Once the batteries have been fully recharged once more, the EPA calculates an estimated driving range.  The WLTP range statistics are roughly 11% higher than the EPA range predictions.
