An Improved Test Method for Energy Consumption and Range of Fuel Cell Vehicles by Dong Hao, Yanyi Zhang, Renguang Wang, Xiaobing Wang, Kai Zhu, Jun Li, Yongping Hou

“…However, these methods do not meet the test requirements for electric energy consumption and the range of plug-in hybrid fuel cell vehicles (FCVs) which are the main technical considerations in China and Europe. In this paper, a new test method for the hydrogen consumption, electric energy consumption, and range of FCVs is proposed without the use of additional hydrogen supply, measurement instruments, or energy consumption correction, which can improve the operability of the test and avoid the conversion between electric energy and hydrogen. …”
