Looks like I'll be moving in two or three months to Asheville, where there's no service location within a practical distance, so I'm obliged to find someone to assume my S10E pickup's lease. It's a 1998 model with NiMH batteries, and less than 7000 miles on the odometer. The l...

Thanks for the offers guys, but I think I'll keep it. I've learned a bit about reviving packs and would like to give it a try myself, but it's apparently a real job to remove the pack from the factory S-10. So, I've decided to let the only EV authorized dealer in Northern Cali...

Just to add to Tom's post. I've been driving my S-10 for abut 3 months now (also a 1998). It's got plenty of power, the gauge set-up is very user friendly, and it's a comfortable ride. A lot better than I think you could expect for a conversion. About the only complaints I've...

No, I don't think you made a bad buy. If you think so, let me know, and I may buy it from you for what you paid for it. This is a pretty sophisticated machine, with the same basic electronics and motor setup as the EV1. It is front-wheel drive, unlike regular S10s. Talk to Sco...

Nice technique. I think an even better variant is to take the tech with you while you drive it down to the EVent horizon where it drops off. Let the tech tell you how far it can go. Then when it poops out and you park it on the side of the road, the tech can tell you how mista...

I started a lease of a NiMH S10-EV last October. I expected to get about 60 - 80 miles/full charge. However, I'm only able to get about 50 miles on a single key up freeway driving, and I usually only get 35 miles in city driving. Is this normal? It seems low. Also, my S10-EV h...
