Hi everyone, I have decided to sell my 97 Chevy S-10EV. I listed it tonight on EBay. It is item #230306730010. I purchased it from Jeff Thomas about 16 months ago. Nothing has gone wrong with it and it runs great, but I feel I am over my head if anything does go wrong. I don't...

Hello Rusty If you have a real problem it will usually come back very soon. I would not be discharging the pack very much at all before you try charging again. You do not want your voltage to drop to where you end up having to drop the pack to manually charge the pack. I highl...

So if GM can retrieve everything it still should not be that difficult for them? 10 years since they have been manufactured but GM was still servicing them I believe until 2003. That would only be 5 years ago. As far as cost it would still be a bargain compared to the negative...

FYI: Keep in mind that this mailing list has been known to be watched by GM and government bigwigs. I think the NHTSA response to this, or lack of, will be the prevailing deciding factor; hopefully they will mandate that GM roll out the simple software fix for this. Pv On Mon,...

The EV1 had a button to deactivate the regen unless braking was engaged. The RAV4-EV has a button to deactivate its regen as well. Why it was not incorporated into the S10e is something I still don't understand. My gut tells me that there is not reason that a fairly simple cir...

Good job getting it fixed Dennis. I live in a hilly area too and agree that regenerative coasting (when regen engages but you have not actually pressed the brake pedal) can reduce range. It is too bad that they do it that way or there is no simple button to disable it. If the...
