This report introduces the study results of a Citroen Berlingo converted into an electric car. It presents the energy properties of road and laboratory tests. Initially the structure of the converted car is described, and characteristics of the main car elements are given. Then, the power and energy characteristics of the converted car are obtained and analyzed. On the road, energy consumption at different constant speeds is registered. In addition, at laboratory, the energy consumption during the Special Cycle for Electric Vehicles and Driving Cycle ECE-15 has been obtained. A comparison of the energy consumption of the studied car and serial BEV was done, and it shows good energy efficiency of the converted car during the driving cycles.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
