Verification and Product-Improved Tests of the South Coast Technology R-1 Electric Rabbit,

Abstract

The South Coast Technology R-1 Electric is a standard VW Rabbit that has been converted to an electric Vehicle. The SCT R-1 Electric was tested by the US Army Mobility Equipment Research and Development Command as part of a Department of Energy project to characterize the state-of-the-art and to verify Manaufacturer certification of the electric vehicle. The R-1 Electric performance test results are presented in this report. The SCT R-1 Electric is powered by 18 lead-acid batteries, has a separately excited moter, transistorized field chopper controller, regenerative braking, and a 4-speed manual transmission.
