Abstract

SAE J1711 testing procedures for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) were issued in 1999. Since that time, full hybrids with larger plug-in battery packs (blended type) and a "range-extender" PHEV type have necessitated a new review of these test procedures. A full-charge test is given to a PHEV to find the capacity and to characterize the vehicle's operation. Driving statistics are useful in processing the full-charge test and in combining depleting with sustaining operation. But just as in the mid-1990s, the lack of refined prototypes with all-electric range capability slows the rate of progress in developing a suitable procedure.
