Description/Abstract | A discussion is given of the efforts of the Bell Telephone System to determine if electric vehicles could be used in reasonable quantities.^Current vehicle use data showed typical range requirements of 15 to 75 miles and a payload of 500 to 1,800 pounds.^Ten US Post Office /sup 1///sub 4/ ton Electrucks were obtained and tested with the following results: poor performance on hills when the battery is low; poor heating and defrosting in winter; and low driver acceptance.^(PMA) |
