21 Feb 2014 Testing a Rear Wheel Drive xEV on a 2 Wheel and 4 Wheel Dynamometer (revised) (TC and ECCC) EVE-09-05/Rev.1 2014-02-21 Revised presentation on a research project intended primarily to evaluate regenerative braking energy and CO2 emission differences between a 2-wheel dynamometer, a 4-wheel dynamometer and empirically determined rear-axle braking forces applied the same test conditions on a 2-wheel dynamometer. The expectation is that the two-wheel dyno tests will produce the highest regenerative braking energy and lowest CO2 emissions since it places 100% of the braking load on the rear axle. TC ECCC
25 Jul 2016 Impacts of Mileage Accumulation and Fast Charging on EV Range and Energy Usage (TC) EVE-20-06 2016-07-25 Summary of initial Transport Canada research into the impact of vehicle use on electric vehicle battery performance and driving range. The research quantified losses in charging energy, useable battery energy, and driving range as travel distance rose. TC

8 Feb 2016 EVS Task Force 7 (Fire Resistance): Canada and US Comments on battery external-fire safety (Canada, TC, and USA) EVSTF-07-02 2016-02-08 US and Canada position on the draft fire exposure test for electric vehicles. Pursuant to Canadian testing, the US and Canada do not see a need for additional testing of electric vehicles (as opposed to ICE vehicles) because the battery and electric systems do not show any cause for special concern in vehicle fires. Battery pack testing could be considered in a later phase in the development of the safety regulation if warranted. Canada TC USA
