The electric vehicle weight, performance, and cost models developed in the preceding phases of this study were updated, integrated into a single model, and expanded to include hybrids, light trucks, and comparable ICE vehicles. This Electric Vehicle Weight and Cost (EVWAC) model and its use are described. The results of running the model are documented in other reports. EVWAC allows comparative analyses of recent and future improved and advanced technology levels of electric vehicles, range extension hybrids, and conventional ICE vehicles. Seven specific vehicle types are defined in EVWAC: two, four, five, and six-passenger cars essentially based on the ICE passenger cars defined in the Interagency Task Force on Motor Vehicle Goals Beyond 1980; and a pickup and high- and low-volume vans based on light compact truck data as well as on the Interagency Report.
