Cesvimap

CESVIMAP has checked the autonomy declared by the manufacturer for the Mitsubishi i-MiEV by dynamic tests trying to play all driving conditions.

Technicians have emphasized the total absence of noise and vibrations, its good agility run and more responsive to throttle than any vehicle in its segment.

It differs from conventional cars in its implementation, consisting of energy consumption indicators and state of battery that replace the tachometer and fuel gauge.

URBAN TESTS

The autonomy achieved in this test, with a totally urban travel has been of 142 km with a single occupant. Although thanks to the weather conditions during the test, it was not necessary to operate the air conditioning or lights, aspects that limit the autonomy in this type of vehicles.

ROAD TESTS

CESVIMAP has performed this test simulating common situations in intercity travels:

• One occupant, National Road (limited to 100 km / h) without A / C, ascending a mountain pass with an altitude of 1,416 m were achieved walk 93km (round trip) with temperature between 9 and 12 º C subtracting a range of 12.5%.
• Four occupants, by highway (limited to 110 km / h) and without A / C, maintaining an average speed of 90 km / h, with a variation of altitude around 300 meters. It was possible to travel 112 km, at an ambient temperature of 19 º C.
• In order to attend day FOREVE within the International Fair of Energy and Environment GENERA, CESVIMAP moved in the Mitsubishi i-MiEV from Avila. The vehicle traveled 120 km with a single occupant to the IFEMA facilities where the Fair was celebrated, performing an incomplete charging of several hours in one of the two posts that were offered to visitors. Unfortunately, this brief charge was not enough for the trip back to CESVIMAP, where the vehicle managed to go 2/3 parts of the journey.

Going on with the study, we will reproduce the same routes in the most unfavourable situations, which are high-occupancy of the vehicle and using the air conditioning and driving lights, these are aspects that affect negatively the vehicle autonomy, according to the manufacturer.
