A pilot electric vehicle (EV) demonstration project funded by the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) is being conducted by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) at Chattanooga, Tennessee. This report documents the progress made during the period from March 1978 to June 1980. The following aspects of the project are presented: vehicle selection and acquisition; vehicle operations; data acquisition systems; early results; and future project plans. Ten Volkswagen Transporters with electric propulsion systems have been acquired and are currently being used in the initial test and evaluation operational phase of the multi-year demonstration. Vehicle operating data in a real-world utility environment is being recorded by two different data acquisition systems, and processed with a minicomputer. Selected results compiled during the current operating phase are presented in this report. Detailed analysis and evaluation of operating data will be the subject of future demonstration reports.
