Sep 27, 2017 Start Preamble AGENCY National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Department of Transportation (DOT). ACTION Final rule. SUMMARY NHTSA is issuing this final rule to amend Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 305, Electric-powered vehicles Electrolyte spillage and electrical shock protection, to adopt various electrical safety requirements found in Global .. The IEC 62660-2 standard, also associated with ISO 12405, specifies reliability and abuse testing for electric vehicle lithium-ion cells for use in a variety of battery systems. The vibration test calls for a random vibration test for 8 hours on each plane of the cell, as well as a mechanical shock test (half-sine) in all six spatial directions.
"California Exhaust Emission Standards and Test Procedures for 2018 and Subsequent Model Zero-Emission Vehicles and Hybrid Electric Vehicles, in the Passenger Car, Light-Duty Truck and Medium-Duty Vehicle Classes," as of January 1, 2016 (last amended September 3, 2015), incorporated by reference in Section 1962.2(h), Title 13, CCR. EPA vs WLTP Range. The EPA ratings of electric vehicles are the most accurate, according to the real-world test results. The EPA range estimates are approximately 11 percent lower than the WLTP range figures. For example, an electric vehicle with 100 miles (or kilometers) of WLTP range is probably going to get an EPA range estimate of around 89 miles (or.
Currently, legislation all over the world is moving towards making AVAS mandatory for vehicles with an electric mode of operation, imposing a minimum noise level. Several standards and regulations have been formulated over the past years, e.g. with ISO 16254, to define electric vehicle warning sounds. Two major regulations exist, United Nations.
