Riverside,CAL,USA -UCR Today, by Sean Nealon -July 18, 2012: -- Researchers at the University of California, Riverside, believe
they can extend the range of electric vehicles by at least 10 percent
by taking into account real-time traffic information, road type and
grade and passenger and cargo weight... The researchers, who work at the Center for Environmental Research and Technology (CE-CERT), which is part of the Bourns College of Engineering, have received a nearly $95,000 one-year grant from the California Energy Commission to develop a eco-routing algorithm that finds the route requiring the least amount of energy for a trip... They
found eco-routing navigation systems can potentially reduce fuel
consumption and greenhouse gas emissions in fossil fuel-powered by 5 to
15 percent... Most electric vehicles have a manufacturer estimated range of 100 miles or greater. However, range can vary drastically. For example, the range of the Nissan LEAF may
vary between 47 and 138 miles depending on driving conditions, such as
air temperature, traffic congestion and road grade, according to EPA testing...
