discharge of the electrical energy/power storage device of the vehicle while driving with the switch in pure electric position (on the test track, on a chassis dynamometer, etc.) at a steady speed of 70 per cent +/-5 per cent of the maximum thirty minutes speed of the vehicle.

         4.1.1.3.3. Stopping the discharge occurs:

            (a) When the vehicle is not able to run at 65 per cent of the maximum thirty minutes speed; or

            (b) When an indication to stop the vehicle is given to the driver by the standard onboard instrumentation; or

            (c) After covering the distance of 100 km.

         4.1.1.3.4. If the vehicle is not equipped with a pure electric operating state, the electrical energy/ power storage device discharge shall be achieved by driving the vehicle (on the test track, on a chassis dynamometer, etc.):

            (a) At a steady speed of 50 km/h until the fuel consuming engine of the HEV starts up; or
            (b) If a vehicle can not reach a steady speed of 50 km/h without starting up the fuel consuming engine , the speed shall be reduced until the vehicle can run a lower steady speed where the fuel consuming engine just does not start up for a defined time/distance (to be specified between technical service and manufacturer); or

            (c) with manufacturers' recommendation.

          The fuel consuming engine shall be stopped within ten seconds of it being automatically started.

         4.1.2. Application of a normal overnight charge

          For a pure electric vehicle, the battery shall be charged according to the normal overnight charge procedure, as defined in paragraph 2.4.1.2. of Annex 7, for a period not exceeding twelve hours.

          For an OVC HEV, the battery shall be charged according to the normal overnight charge procedure as described in paragraph 3.2.2.5. of Annex 8.

         4.2. Application of the cycle and measurement of the range

         4.2.1. For pure electric vehicle:

         4.2.1.1. The test sequence as defined in paragraph 1.1. of Annex 7 is applied on a chassis dynamometer adjusted as described in Appendix 1 of Annex 7, until the end of the test criteria is reached.

         4.2.1.2. 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.

          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.

         4.2.1.3. 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
