Hi, Tony-- Glad you enjoyed the messages. I'm having fun with my truck, too. Part of that is learning how to diagnose and repair glitches and range issues. I'm learning a lot more than I ever knew about my EV-1. This is a good thing. It really is fun. Now, about S10E... Hmmm....

Well said, Don. 300+ volts, maintenance free batteries, and an AC direct drive means performance and range. You can have all of these with a GM S10. EV Bones has several very young S10s, some with NiMH batteries that could yield better than 70 or 80 miles range. These trucks s...

I've had a little experience now and can compare my 1997 S-10E I just got from RCI with my 1997 EV1 I turned in a year ago. The S-10E has a power draw gauge that shows negative (regen) flow. I love this. The corresponding EV1 guage would not show regen. Both power draw and SOC...

All of the lead-acid S10E trucks originally had Delphi 12V batteries. All of those were changed out to Panasonic 12-volt batteries. The S10E always had 26 12-volt batteries, just like the EV1. On the EV1, the Panasonic batteries were far superior to the Delphi batteries, and t...
