Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) Testing activities have historically included low to high power energy transfers from the electric grid and distributed energy sources to plug-in electric drive vehicles.
Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles are similar to hybrid electric vehicles, except that they must be connected to the electric grid for some period each day to fully recharge their onboard battery packs.
Neighborhood electric vehicles are usually configured to carry two or four passengers, or two passengers with a pickup bed, and have top speeds between 20 and 25 miles per hour.
Urban electric vehicles are passenger vehicles with top speeds of about 60 mph and a per-charge range of about 50 miles.
