【 摘 要 】

Battelle Energy Alliance, LLC, managing and operating contractor for the U.S. Department of Energy???s (DOE) Idaho National Laboratory (INL), is the lead laboratory for U.S. Department of Energy???s Advanced Vehicle Testing Activity (AVTA). INL???s conduct of the AVTA resulted in a significant base of knowledge and experience in the area of testing light-duty vehicles that reduced transportation-related petroleum consumption. Due to this experience, INL was tasked by DOE to develop agreements with companies that were the recipients of The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) grants, that would allow INL to collect raw data from light-duty vehicles and charging infrastructure. INL developed non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) with several companies and their partners that resulted in INL being able to receive raw data via server-to-server connections from the partner companies. This raw data allowed INL to independently conduct data quality checks, perform analysis, and report publicly to DOE, partners, and stakeholders, how drivers used both new vehicle technologies and the deployed charging infrastructure. The ultimate goal was not the deployment of vehicles and charging infrastructure, cut rather to create real-world laboratories of vehicles, charging infrastructure and drivers that would aid in the design of future electric drive transportation systems. The five projects that INL collected data from and their partners are: ??? ChargePoint America - Plug-in Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Demonstration ??? Chrysler Ram PHEV Pickup - Vehicle Demonstration ??? General Motors Chevrolet Volt - Vehicle Demonstration ??? The EV Project - Plug-in Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Demonstration ??? EPRI / Via Motors PHEVs ??? Vehicle Demonstration The document serves to benchmark the performance science involved the execution, analysis and reporting for the five above projects that provided lessons learned based on driver???s use of the vehicles and recharging decisions made. Data is reported for the use of more than 25,000 vehicles and charging units.
