OK, be gentle folks. This is just an FYI. The test was done with an iMIev, so
due battery differences, it may not be 100% applicable. Something to
think about if you go up skiing.
However, the most exciting question was how changes in weather conditions
and the associated operation of secondary power consumers, e. g. the air-
conditioning system, would influence the range. The TÜV SÜD E-Car Standard
answers this question, as the defined test cycle is also performed both at a
wintry -7°C and with the air-conditioning system in operation.
The comparative test carried out by special-interest magazine auto motor und
sport on the basis of TÜV SÜD's test standard for determining range delivered
dramatic results. To take the Mitsubishi iMIEV as an example, while the range
of the Japanese e-car determined in accordance with the legal test cycle
defined in ECE-R101 at 23°C and without additional power consumption
amounts to 133 kilometres, it is only 113 kilometres when based on the TSECC
(carried out also at 23 degrees, but at a higher speed). At a temperature of -7
degrees and when additional power consumers are turned on, the range drops
to a meagre 64 kilometres.
