How can range be measured across different environments? And how can this be done safely and efficiently? These are exactly the challenges addressed by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygonaurel.cz\/en\/\">AUREL Proving Ground<\/a> in Northern Bohemia \u2013 a modern, multifunctional proving ground used by leading car manufacturers to test vehicles, electric cars, and autonomous systems.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>The development of electric vehicles brings new testing demands<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Electronics, high-voltage systems, specific weight distribution, and unique on-road behaviour \u2013 all of these differ significantly from vehicles with internal combustion engines. Yet electric cars must withstand the same demanding conditions in everyday use \u2013 diverse weather, water crossings, uphill drives, impacts, and obstacles. Developers therefore require a sophisticated and flexible environment that allows them to verify every details of vehicle performance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>AUREL Proving Ground is fully prepared for electric vehicles<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is exactly what the AUREL Proving Ground delivers \u2013 a multifunctional proving ground with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygonaurel.cz\/en\/smarter-and-safer-cars-why-test-assistance-systems-in-the-czech-republic\/\">unique conditions for the development and testing of vehicles,<\/a> including electric models. Across an area of 120,000 square meters, car manufacturers can validate functional, endurance, and durability parameters of their vehicles.<strong> A speed oval, dynamic platform, ADAS track, steep inclines,<\/strong> and <strong>water obstacles<\/strong> enable comprehensive testing of battery-powered cars in a wide range of scenarios.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Proof that the facility has become a sought-after location for EV testing lies in the interest of leading industry placers. For example, <strong>\u0160koda Auto<\/strong> chose the Proving Ground for the world premiere of its sporty electric model,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygonaurel.cz\/en\/world-premiere-of-the-skoda-elroq-rs-took-place-on-the-perfect-stage-of-the-aurel-polygon\/\">the \u0160koda Elroq RS <\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <strong>Arval<\/strong> company, a recognised expert in the field, also hosted its Electromobility Day here, where visitors had the opportunity to test drive 55 EVs and plug-in hybrids from 19 different brands.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Unique conditions for the EV development and testing<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For car manufacturers, it\u2019s not just about test drives \u2013 they need to validate the entire electromobility ecosystem, from charging to battery performance. That\u2019s why the AUREL Proving Ground is equipped with <strong>modern charging infrastructure:\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li
