  • 2.4. Operation mode

All the tests are conducted at a temperature of between 293,2 K and 303,2 K (20 °C and 30 °C).

The test method includes the four following steps:

  • (a) initial charge of the battery;
  • (b) two runs of the applicable type I test cycle;
  • (c) charging the battery;
  • (d) calculation of the electric energy consumption.

If the vehicle moves between the steps, it shall be pushed to the next test area (without regenerative recharging).

2.4.1.   Initial charge of the battery

Charging the battery consists of the following procedures:

2.4.1.1.   Discharge of the battery

The battery is discharged while the vehicle is driven (on the test track, on a chassis dynamometer, etc.) at a steady speed of 70 percent ± 5 percent of the maximum design vehicle speed, as determined according to the test procedure in Appendix 1 to Annex X.

Discharging shall stop:

  • (a) when the vehicle is unable to run at 65 percent of the maximum thirty minutes speed, or
  • (b) when the standard on-board instrumentation indicates that the vehicle should be stopped, or
  • (c) after 100 km.

By means of derogation if the manufacturer can prove to the technical service to the satisfaction of the approval authority that the vehicle is physically not capable of achieving the thirty minutes speed the maximum fifteen minute speed may be used instead.

2.4.1.2.   Application of a normal overnight charge

The battery shall be charged according to the following procedure:

2.4.1.2.1.   Normal overnight charge procedure

The charge shall be carried out:

  • (a) with the on-board charger if fitted;
  • (b) with an external charger recommended by the manufacturer, using the charging pattern prescribed for normal charging;
  • (c) in an ambient temperature of between 293,2 K and 303,2 K (20 °C and 30 °C).

This procedure excludes all types of special charges that could be automatically or manually initiated, e.g. equalisation or servicing charges.

The vehicle manufacturer shall declare that no special charge procedure has occurred during the test.

2.4.1.2.2.   End-of-charge criteria

The end-of-charge criteria shall correspond to a charging time of 12 hours except where the standard instrumentation indicates clearly that the battery is not yet fully charged, in which case:

Equation Ap2-1:

Image omitted; see official source

2.4.1.2.3.   Fully charged battery

Propulsion batteries shall be deemed as fully charged when they have been charged according to the overnight charge procedure until the end-of-charge criteria are fulfilled.

2.4.2.   Application of the type I test cycle and measurement of the distance

The end of charging time t0 (plug off) shall be reported.

The chassis dynamometer shall be set according to the method in point 4.5.6. of Annex II.

Starting within four hours of t0, the applicable type I test shall be run twice on a chassis dynamometer, following which the distance covered in km (Dtest) is recorded. If the manufacturer can demonstrate to the approval authority that twice the type I test distance can physically not be attained by the vehicle, the test cycle shall be conducted once and subsequently followed by a partial second test run. The second test run may stop if the minimum state of charge of the propulsion battery is reached as referred to in Appendix 3.1.

2.4.3.   Charge of the battery

The test vehicle shall be connected to the mains within 30 minutes of the second run of the applicable type I test cycle.

The vehicle shall be charged according to the normal overnight charge procedure in point 2.4.1.2.

The energy measurement equipment, placed between the mains socket and the vehicle charger, measures the energy charge E delivered from the mains and its duration.

Charging shall stop 24 hours after the end of the previous charging time (t0).

Note:

In the event of a mains power cut, the 24 hour period may be extended in line with the duration of the cut. The validity of the charge shall be discussed between the technical services of the approval laboratory and the vehicle manufacturer to the satisfaction of the approval authority.

2.4.4.   Electric energy consumption calculation

Energy E in Wh and charging time measurements are to be recorded in the test report.

The electric energy consumption c shall be determined using the formula:

Equation Ap2-2:

The electricity balance Q (Ah), measured using the procedure in Appendix 3.2. to this Appendix, shall be used as a measure of the difference between the vehicle battery’s energy content at the end of the cycle and that at the beginning of the cycle.

  • (c) ΔEbatt always corresponds to a battery discharging and ΔEbatt is within 1 percent of the energy content of the consumed fuel (i.e. the total fuel consumption over one cycle).
