5 Test sequence
5.1 General
There are two test methods for measuring the reference energy consumption and reference range
of purely electrically propelled vehicles on a chassis dynamometer, the consecutive cycle test (CCT)
(see 8.4.3.2) and the shortened test (see 8.4.3.3). The CCT repeats the selected applicable driving test
(ADT) cycle (see 5.2) as a test sequence until the end-of-test criterion is reached (see Clause 7). The test
sequence of the shortened test consists of a selected number of ADT cycles (see 5.2 and 5.4) followed
by a constant speed segment (CSS) (see 5.5). The CSS is performed for discharging the RESS by a higher
electrical load than the average ADT cycle load in order to shorten the overall test duration.
The RESS discharging in the shortened test shall be performed by running the vehicle in a CSS or
optionally with a constant power discharge via the DC fast charging port (see 5.5).
5.2 Selection of ADT cycle
Select a relevant regional ADT cycle for the definition of the test sequence. The selected ADT cycle
applies to either CCT in 8.4.3.2 or shortened test in 8.4.3.3.
The same test sequence shall be used to define energy consumption and range. Every effort shall be
made to conduct the tests by following the reference curve within the tolerances given in Clause 6, see
Figure 1.
5.3 Deviations in speed trace for vehicles with less maximum speed than the maximum
speed of the selected ADT cycle
Vehicles with a maximum speed capability that is less than the maximum speed of the selected ADT
cycle shall be operated at fully activated accelerator control when the speed trace cannot be followed.

---------------------- Page: 6 ----------------------
ISO 8714:2023(E)
Speed trace violations according to Clause 6 under this circumstances shall not void a test, if the vehicle
speed is higher than 70 km/h. Deviations from the driving cycle shall be recorded.
NOTE If the relevant regional ADT standard, where the selected regional ADT cycle belongs to, includes
requirements for a reduced test procedure for vehicles which cannot follow the target speed curve, these
requirements for a reduced speed curve are taken into account.
5.4 Selection of the number of ADT cycles for the shortened test
In the shortened test, the selected ADT cycle shall be continued consecutively until an additional cycle
after the total range at the cycle end exceeds 40 km to warm-up the relevant drive train components. In
the additional ADT cycle test, the energy consumption and range shall be measured under the assumed
conditions of a fully warmed-up drive train. The total number of these ADTs, N, is defined as the number
of ADTs for the shortened test prior to the CSS.
5.5 Speed determination and procedure for running a CSS
As the second part of the shortened test, a CSS is performed following the required number of ADT
cycles as described in 5.4. A CSS is also performed in order to discharge the RESS for preconditioning
before the normal charging, see 8.4.2.
A relevant CSS running speed value for the selected ADT cycle shall be determined by choosing one of
the two methods described in Annex B, see Clauses B.2 and B.3. If a shortened test method with a CSS
for the selected ADT cycle is available in the relevant regional ADT standard, then this CSS speed value
can be used.
Optionally, the RESS discharging can be performed with a constant power discharge via the DC fast
charging port. The determination of the value for power for the RESS discharging and some information
necessary for the test are described in Annex B, see Clause B.4.
A CSS shall be run targeting the CSS speed as follows:
The vehicle on the chassis dynamometer shall be accelerated steadily to the specified CSS speed within
60 s. If the CSS speed cannot be reached within 60 s, the accelerator control shall be fully activated until
the CSS speed is reached. When the vehicle reached the CSS speed, the speed shall be maintained until
the end-of-test criteria according to Clause 7 are satisfied.
6 Tolerances
Tolerances on speed and time in the test sequence shall be as shown in Figure 1.

A tolerance on speed of within ± 2,0 km/h and a tolerance on time of within ± 1,0 s shall be geometrically
combined at each point as in Figure 1. One deviation of up to 4 s beyond these tolerances is permitted
in any drive cycle. This exception shall not be allowed to delay the determination of the end of the test
sequence. The total time-out of tolerances shall be mentioned in the test report.
7 End-of-test criteria
The end-of-test criteria are defined as follows.
a) For vehicles capable of following the speed trace of the selected ADT cycle, the test termination
criterion is defined as when the vehicle–due to power limitations–is incapable of maintaining the
speed tolerances as defined in Clause 6.
b) For vehicles with a maximum speed capability that is less than the maximum speed of the selected
ADT cycle, it shall be operated at fully activated accelerator control when the speed trace cannot be
followed.
If the speed trace is equal or lower than 70 km/h, the test termination criterion is defined as when
the vehicle is incapable of maintaining the speed tolerances as defined in Clause 6. If the speed
trace is higher than 70 km/h, the test termination criterion is defined as when the vehicle, while
operated at fully activated accelerator control is unable to reproduce the best-effort speed versus
time relationship established by the vehicle in the first selected ADT cycle. The applicable drive
tolerances for the best-effort trace are as defined in Clause 6.
c) For all vehicles the test termination criterion is defined as when the vehicle is given an indication
from the on-board instrumentation to the driver to stop the vehicle, e.g. for safety reasons.

ISO 8714:2023(E)
When one of the test termination criteria has occurred, the driver shall immediately apply the brake and
the vehicle shall stop within 60 s. At the stop of the vehicle, the test is completed and all measurement
activities shall be terminated.
At the shortened test, the DC measurement device additionally shall count the energy values at the test
termination point.
NOTE DC measurement is necessary for E correction.

Any errors in the DC electric energy measurement system shall be less than 1 % of the
reading or 0,3 % of the full scale. (Pulsed power electronics measurement needs a wide
dynamic range even if it has a small power.)
For the DC energy measurement, wideband meter (power analyser) or wideband ampere-hour meter
for pulsed power electronics is required.
The wideband meter (power analyser) is an instrument for processing power and energy in pulsed
power electronics by current and voltage inputs. Its bandwidth shall be at least 10 times as high as the
switching frequency of the pulsed power electronics, and update period of its outputs shall be 0,05 s or
less to get enough time resolution.
Voltage probes and current sensors shall be installed in such a way as to measure voltage at RESS and
all current leaving and entering the RESS.
The data of the RESS control unit shall be alternatively applied if the accuracy of the data certifies
corresponding accuracy in Table 1.
NOTE If the test vehicle's RESS controller data are not sufficiently accurate, the accuracy of the controller's
data are displayed on the data sheet. The accuracy of the resulting specific energy consumption and range can be
estimated and are also on the data sheet.

8.3 Test conditions
8.3.1 Vehicle conditions
The test mass shall follow the requirements given in ISO 8715. If the requirement for the test mass is
given in the relevant regional ADT standard, then it can be used.
The determination of vehicle road load and the reproduction on the chassis dynamometer shall be in
accordance with the ISO 10521 series. The same setting on the chassis dynamometer shall be used
throughout the test regardless of CCT or shortened test.
The relevant regional ADT standard can be used if it specifies how to determine the vehicle road load.
The vehicle tyres shall be inflated to the pressure specified by the vehicle manufacturer according to
the specifications of the chassis dynamometer when the tyres are at ambient temperature.

ISO 8714:2023(E)
8.4.2 Charging of the RESS
8.4.2.1 General
Unless otherwise prescribed by the vehicle manufacturer or the RESS manufacturer, the initial charge
of the RESS shall be performed as follows.
8.4.2.2 Discharging the RESS
8.4.2.2.1 Setting the remaining RESS level for discharge driving (preconditioning) before full
charge
Prior to discharge driving (preconditioning), the remaining state of charge (SOC) of the RESS should
be adjusted so that the vehicle can run a distance of up to 50 km at CSS speed. After adjusting the SOC,
soak for 9 h or more at the test temperature condition. The soak time can be reduced by agreement
between the test institute and customer.
For discharging, a constant power discharge of the RESS via the DC fast charging port can replace
running a CSS on a chassis dynamometer (see Annex B, B.4).
If the SOC level is lower than the requested minimum level, the RESS shall first be charged at least to the
requested minimum SOC level before discharging in 8.4.2.2.3.
8.4.2.2.2 Vehicle movement
If it is necessary to move the vehicle, push or tow the vehicle so that it does not regenerate or discharge.
Exposure to temperatures other than the test environment temperature shall be limited to 30 min.
8.4.2.2.3 Preconditioning (discharge running) for full charge of RESS
Discharging the RESS shall be carried out by driving the vehicle at a constant speed defined by CSS on
the chassis dynamometer.
Stop the discharge, if the end-of-test criteria according to Clause 7 are satisfied.
8.4.2.2.4 Application of a normal charge
Soak and charge the vehicle at ambient temperature for 11 h according to 8.4.2.3 (normal charging
procedure), then start the test within a 1 h period. If charging takes less than 11 h, soaking shall be
continued for 11 h. If charging takes more than 11 h, start the test within a 1 h period after charging is
completed.
When charging and soaking are completed, push or tow the vehicle onto the chassis dynamometer.
8.4.2.3 Normal charging procedure
8.4.2.3.1 General
The AC energy measurement equipment shall be placed between the external AC electric power source
and the vehicle inlet.
The charging of the RESS shall be carried out at an ambient temperature of (25 ± 5) °C. The normal
charging procedure shall be in accordance with the vehicle manufacturer’s specification for normal
operation.
For the normal charging procedure all types of special charging shall be excluded, for example, RESS
service charging.
The AC energy shall be measured after the test termination.

---------------------- Page: 11 ----------------------
ISO 8714:2023(E)
For the shortened test, the AC energy can be measured optionally after preconditioning if the discharge
conditions at the test and for the preconditioning are the same. The measured AC energy values can be
used instead of the post-test measurements, see 8.4.3.3.1.
8.4.2.3.2 End-of-charge criteria
The end-of-charge criteria shall correspond to a charging time of 11 h except if a clear indication is
given to the driver by the standard instrumentation that the RESS is not yet fully charged. In this case,
the maximum charging time shall be in accordance with the manufacturer’s specification.
8.4.2.3.3 Fully charged RESS
A RESS is fully charged when charged according to the normal charging procedure (see 8.4.2.3.1) and
the end-of-charge criteria (see 8.4.2.3.2).
8.4.3 Application of the designated test sequence and calculation for results
8.4.3.1 General
If the test sequence is performed by CCT only, the total range and the AC energy from the external AC
energy source for charging the RESS shall be measured after the test.
If the vehicle can run more than N times of the selected ADT cycle (see 5.4), the shortened test according
to 8.4.3.3 can be the alternative test procedure instead of the CCT.
If the test sequence is performed by the shortened test, measured DC energy (E ) from the RESS
DC_cycle_n
th
and travelled range (d ) in each n ADT cycle and in the CSS shall be measured.
cycle_n
NOTE n represents the ADT cycle counter, starting with number 1 up to number N, where the last ADT cycle
prior to the CSS is performed.
The total DC energy from the end of initial charge to the end of test (E ) and to the point where the
DC
vehicle stops after end of test (E ) and the AC energy from the external AC energy source for
DC_mes
charging the RESS shall be measured.
Unless otherwise requested by the ADT standard to which the selected ADT cycle belongs to, up to
three interruptions of no longer than 15 min in total are permitted between the test sequences, out of
respect for human needs. In the CSS of the shortened test, interruptions of up to 10 min per 1 h driving
are permitted. During all optional interruption periods, the key or power switch shall be in the “off”
position, the hood shall be closed, the test cell fan shall be off, and the brake pedal not depressed.
In the case of the shortened test, interruption during the ADT cycle delays the completion of vehicle
warm-up and may cause errors in each calculation result. Therefore, interruptions should be made only
during CCS or, if interrupted during an ADT cycle, the interruption time should be minimized.
8.4.3.2 Consecutive cycle test
8.4.3.2.1 Test procedure
The specified test sequence shall start within 1 h after soak and end-of-charge (8.4.2.3.2).
The test sequence shall continue until the end-of-test criterion is reached (see Clause 7).
In any case, the total range, d , travelled up to the end of test and to the final stop of the vehicle shall
ADT
be measured.
