Electric Vehicle Performance in a Highly Polluted City
نویسندگان
چکیده
Santiago is one of the most polluted capitals in the world. It has been declared saturated by O3, CO, total particles in suspension and breathable particles. It is also a latent danger zone on NO2 levels. These are produced by incomplete fossil fuel combustion and a poor air renewal due to geographic characteristics. In addition, Santiago is a heavy traffic city with a poor infrastructure that leads to low average speeds at peak hours. Experimental results from driving an electric vehicle in this particular environment are presented. An evaluation is made in regard to vehicle performance and possible impact on Santiago’s environment.
