Mild hybrid electric vehicle (MHEV, BAHV) Exclusively uses petroleum or other fuel, but has electric battery to consume less. Plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHEV) Uses mixture of petroleum or other fuel and electricity from power grid. All-electric vehicle (BEV, AEV) Exclusively uses electricity from power grid. Fuel cell vehicle (FCV, FCEV)
The procedure involves instrumentation of the test vehicle to collect information while driving on the test road. There are two major types of data to be collected, Driver Behavior data and Vehicle versus Road data. The Vehicle versus Road data are used to prepare the road drive cycle and the Driver Behavior data to prepare the Driver model.
Fastest acceleration of an electric car, 0 to 100 km/h in 1.461 seconds by university students at the University of Stuttgart. [69] Electric Land Speed Record 353 mph (568 km/h). [70] Electric Car Distance Record 1,725 miles (2,776 km) in 24 hours by Bjørn Nyland. [71] Greatest distance by electric vehicle, single charge 999.5 miles (1,608.5 km).
IEC 61851 is an international standard for electric vehicle conductive charging systems, parts of which are currently still under development (written 2017). IEC 61851 is one of the International Electrotechnical Commission 's group of standards for electric road vehicles and electric industrial trucks and is the responsibility of IEC Technical ...
The Aptera vehicle's development was planned to progress through a series of prototypes: Alpha, Beta, Gamma, leading to the Delta phase vehicle. Three Alpha prototypes were built to validate the basic vehicle design and provide rough functionality. The Beta prototype incorporated functional improvements learned from the Alpha prototypes.
In 1999, the Commissione Italiana Veicoli Elettrici Stradali [] (Italian electric vehicles association, CIVES) approached Scame to design an interface specifically for charging electric vehicles, [2] which led to a system that delivered single-phase AC line voltage through what is now called a Type 3A female socket via an adaptor that plugged into a standard 230 V AC outlet.

The first Smart electric drive vehicles, still using the first generation type 450 body style, were modified by Zytek Electric Vehicles. They were powered by a rear-mounted motor driving the rear wheels. It ran on 13.2 kilowatt hours of sodium-nickel chloride Zebra batteries. These type of molten salt battery operates at 245 °C (473 °F).
