ELECTRIC VEHICLE RESEARCH AT EPRI

The success of future electric vehicles will be determined in the market place. The Electric Transportation (ET) Program at the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) is developing componentry and subsystems for electric vehicles which will fill particular market niches. Studies are conducted to establish the market potential of electric vehicles as a function of their performance capability. The EPRI ET Program consists of three major project sections; battery systems development, vehicle systems development, and advanced transportation systems development. The current planned contribution of each section to improved electric vehicles is discussed.
