Mission Efficiency: Volkswagen's record-breaking electric car
Under ideal conditions
However, the latter point requires some explanation. It refers to what is known as an "ideal route," where speed (68 km/h) remains constant, there are no uphill gradients, and auxiliary power consumers--such as the air conditioning system--are switched off. To verify this, VW engineers conducted a marathon test run of 1,278.36 km from the Development Center in Wolfsburg to Vienna, passing through Poland and the Czech Republic.
