Good article except PGE puts out false claims about needing to reinforce the infrastructure. My memory is that at night the grid has a HUGE excess capacity. So what's the problem. I think they just want more money from the PUC, for a phantom reason. Stephen in Oakland On Oct 8...

Recent health problems are interfering with progress on my S-10 E project. I built new battery boxes with Group 27 SLA batteries, installed new PIM and now get 'charge complete' with no DTE codes showing. I think all it needs is to have the program 'flashed' or whatever that t...

I'd like to share some potential good news to anybody who has a bad NiMH battery: If a battery is bad, there's a chance that only one of the eleven cells is defective. If that's the case, and if you have a spare "bad" battery, you may be able to get one good battery by combini...

The batteries for sale brings this question to mind: In the near future the S10EVs that were converted to NiMH will need battery replacements. As NiMH are not likely to be available, most will have to return to Lead. The trucks will have to be "re-flashed". Maybe Jeff could cr...
