| 摘要： | To comply with federal regulations resulting from the federal Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1992 (EPACT), the Connecticut State fleet manager began purchasing non-emergency automobiles (cars) and light trucks that run on alternate fuels (Alt-Fuel). The Department and the Rideshare Company (Rideshare) previously partnered to evaluate electric subcompact cars that utilized lead acid batteries. A nickel cadmium (NiCd) battery, popular in European electric vehicles, was anticipated to provide longer and more reliable service. The accuracy of marketing claims of battery electric vehicle (BEV) and battery manufacturers was uncertain. There was a need to obtain and disseminate some first-hand information about the practicality of this Alt-Fuel option. This evaluation was accomplished in partnership with Rideshare. Rideshare administered the conversion of one of its lead-acid BEV subcompacts to a NiCd BEV in 1999. The cars manufacturer performed the work. The NiCd pack consisted of 26 six-volt batteries (pack capacity is 15,600 Watt-hours) and had a battery-pack replacement value in 1999 of $8,450. A favorable cost-per-mile statistic for battery-replacement was possible NiCd battery were as long-lived as was claimed by its manufacturer. |
