then stopped by braking.

         4.2.1.3. At a speed over 50 km/h, when the vehicle does not reach the required acceleration or speed of the test cycle, the accelerator pedal shall remain fully depressed until the reference curve has been reached again.

         4.2.1.4. To respect human needs, up to three interruptions are permitted between test sequences, of no more than fifteen minutes in total.

         4.2.1.5. At the end, the measure De of the covered distance in km is the electric range of the electric vehicle. It shall be rounded to the nearest whole number.

         4.2.2. For hybrid electric vehicles

         4.2.2.1. To determine the electric range of a hybrid electric vehicle

         4.2.2.1.1. The applicable test sequence and accompanying gear shift prescription, as defined in paragraph 1.4. of Annex 8, is applied on a chassis dynamometer adjusted as described in Appendices 1, 6, and 7 of Annex 4a of Regulation No. 83, until the end of the test criteria is reached.

         4.2.2.1.2. To measure the electric range the end of the test criteria is reached when the vehicle is not able to meet the target curve up to 50 km/h, or when an indication from the standard on-board instrumentation is given to the driver to stop the vehicle or when the battery has reached its minimum state of charge. Then the vehicle shall be slowed down to 5 km/h by releasing the accelerator pedal, without touching the brake pedal and then stopped by braking.

         4.2.2.1.3. At a speed over 50 km/h, when the vehicle does not reach the required acceleration or speed of the test cycle, the accelerator pedal shall remain fully depressed until the reference curve has been reached again.

         4.2.2.1.4. To respect human needs, up to three interruptions are permitted between test sequences, of no more than 15 minutes in total.

         4.2.2.1.5. At the end, the measure De of the distance covered using the electrical motor only in km is the electric range of the hybrid electric vehicle. It shall be rounded to the nearest whole number. Where the vehicle operates both in electric and hybrid modes during the test, the periods of electric only operation will be determined by measuring current to the injectors or ignition.

         4.2.2.2. To determine the OVC range of a hybrid electric vehicle

         4.2.2.2.1. The applicable test sequence and accompanying gear shift prescription, as defined in paragraph 1.4. of Annex 8, is applied on a chassis dynamometer adjusted as described in Appendices 1, 6, and 7 of Annex 4a of Regulation No. 83, until the end of the test criteria is reached.

         4.2.2.2.2. To measure the OVC range the end of the test criteria is reached when the battery has reached its minimum state of charge
