Tested by Transport Canada
1.The vehicle was acquired as a test asset in March 2010 by Transport Canada to support the department's safety, environmental and performance testing of new and emerging advanced vehicle technologies.
2.Testing was performed by professional drivers on closed circuit testing facilities and in laboratories in North America. Testing performed was non-destructive.
3.Tests were conducted to assess the effects of North American driving schedules, auxiliary electrical loads and temperature on the performance of battery electric vehicles. Significant portions of the testing were performed in support of the development of industry standards, i.e. SAE J1634: Electric Vehicle Energy Consumption and Range Test Procedures. These procedures outline the driving schedules, test procedures, data acquisition requirements and calculation methods required to assess battery electric vehicle energy consumption and determine range. Cold weather testing was conducted as outlined in the test procedures at -7°C. The vehicle was also tested at colder temperatures (down to -20°C), deemed representative of a typical cold winter temperature in most major Canadian cities.
4.Testing was also conducted on the vehicle, under the auspices Canada-US Regulatory Cooperation Council, to support the development of standards for pedestrian alert sound systems for electric and hybrid vehicles. Testing was conducted in accordance with SAE 2889-1: Measurement of Minimum Noise Emitted by Road Vehicles, in a hemi-anechoic test chamber.
5.At the time of purchase, the vehicle was the only fully battery electric passenger vehicle that complied with all applicable Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (CMVSS). As such, it met North America's stringent safety standards, and could be operated on all roadways in Canada.
