I believe I may be the only S10 Electric that is currently using the EV-HV1255 battery. That said I guess I am the guinea pig. I have as a lot of other people, tried to get the 1260 batteries or any other battery to get my truck operational. I called Panasonic in the US and ha...

I would not recommend using a 1255 in an EV. It was developed for Hybrid use and that is a totally different animal. Lead acid has a hard enough time standing up to the demands of an EV when they are designed for EVs. Obviously this is not the equivalent of using ICE starting...

Somewhere, in a parallel universe (or maybe Kentucky) people modify their gas S-10 to turn them into drag racers. The ? mile S-10 people and the EV S-10 people share a similar goal in wanting to reduce the weight of the vehicle. There are shops in California and elsewhere wher...

Ok Dennis On a lead truck regen can be inhibited by 2 things. The 1st is ABS brakes failure (multiple possibilities there) or 2nd a bad temp sensor. The temp sensor can go open and read high so the battery looks overtemp (around 160 F) and regen will be disabled. If you dont g...

My naive guess would be that it is a problem w/ the battery temperature sensors. There seems to have been a recent spree of a lot of them going out recently. I know 3 of the 6+ S10EVs in Seattle have needed their sensors replaced. The only way to do this is to crack the pack o...
