Every time I talk to people about my S10EV I always feel bad that I don't know precisely how many S10EVs GM made, or how many are still known to exist. So, a few questions that I was hoping some one could answer: 1. How many S10EVs did GM make total? 2. How many 1997s? 3. How...

Keith, You actually own one of the best two electric vehicles that are on the road today (the other is the Toyota RAV4-EV). But the version of the S10 you that you have came with lead acid batteries that don't last very long. (Four years on a lead acid pack is pushing it for m...

Does anybody have any experience with the use of Panasonic EC-HV1255 batteries in a 97 S10E? I am wondering if there is anyone that has used these and if there is a problem with charging due to the difference in internal resistance? Any range issues? Thanks Dennis Scott [email...

Hey! Craig Vinton; you're on the wrong list, and obviously confused. This is the S-10EV list serve, for GM built EV's using the EV1 propulsion system. The original poster owns a GM built S-10EV, it is *not* a conversion vehicle. You have a US Electricar. Jeff On Apr 10, 2008,...

There's nothing to be damaged/gained by plugging in the charger paddle. The pack is dead, and will not come back, even if individually charged at the module level. Emory/Fulton drove them 'till they would not move any more. Don't waste any time with someone telling you otherwi...

Hi Scott, Jeff Thomas can give the best answer to this question. My guess is that the inefficiency of the NiMH truck is due to the large amount of power used to air condition the batteries. I used to lease one of these NiMH trucks for over a year and unless it was very cold ou...
