[S10-EV] Low Rolling Resistance tires for the S-10EV
In some limited testing a couple years ago, I found the GoodYear Assurance Comfortred provided the best mix of handling, tread life, road conditions, and rolling resistance in a commonly available tire. A total of four tires were tested, and the Goodyear tire was a clear winne...

I had an interesting experience with my S10-EV this week. The vehicle is kept and charged in our attached garage. The charger is normally set to delay the charging until 3 am. On Wednesday night, the vehicle needed charging after 37 miles of driving (Bat Life came on during th...

[S10-EV] EV1 vigil and thoughts

[S10-EV] EV1 vigil and thoughts
Jeff, You make a point to bring up what needs to be said at the right time. Case in point, since my only contact to the vigil is second hand press releases and of course WKtEC, I feel I should just bring up thoughts since seeing the film and the DVD extras. First the cornersto...
[S10-EV] Images of the Burbank EV1 vigil -tell us about your experience
As everyone who reads this list already knows, the Burbank EV1 vigil had culminated in March of '05 with GM sending in the transports to remove the items in controversy. I was fortunate to photograph much of those concluding events that were also immortalized by a segment in W...
[S10-EV] Replacement Pre-Charge Caps.
After reading all of the drama regarding the failed capacitors and the virtual certainty that every one of them will fail over a period of time, I think it is incumbent of us to find a willing supplier of these devices and to change them out of have them changed out in every s...

[S10-EV] S-10EV recent history on filter capacitors, RE: capacitors are your friend
Well... I suppose it's time to explain this in some detail. I have discussed this problem privately with some owners, and shown those who have visited the EV Bones facilities some of the carnage resulting from catastrophic filter capacitor failure. It's bad. I did not want to...
[S10-EV] S-10 repairs (capacitors are your friend)
Hi Gil and all - I don't know much about the EV1 problem, but I think it is a completely different situation involving a different part of the system. And I must clarify something - although there was real electrical damage to my truck, there was no real fire. No damage (or sm...
[S10-EV] S-10 repairs (capacitors are your friend)
Hi, Jim-- I was very saddened to hear about the serious damage to your truck Thank you for your detailed report. You may have allowed other S-10E owners to avoid experiencing the same thing. I do have a few questions: Where can we buy those capacitors new? Do you have any sugg...
[S10-EV] Convenience Chargers in Cold Climates
On a NiMH S10, when the charger is connected, the battery pack active cooling (heat pump) is set to come on at a battery temperature of 86F, and off at 77F. If you are in a warm climate, say 75-85F ambient, and you have driven the vehicle and warmed the batteries even a little...
[S10-EV] S-10 charger problem
Hello Jim Thanks for the information on your problem. Isn't great to have Jeff to contact for help. I will tell my story but I am not sure what happened yet. A couple of months ago I hooked up the charger and it blew up. I wired in another and after a short time well before th...

[S10-EV] Snow, Cold and the S10E
Hi Jeff, Just though I'd send a note to let you know the truck is working fine. The truck handles very well in the snow. Tuesday night it was snowing when I went home, it took almost 2 hours and slow traffic on icy roads. Other trucks and cars were unable to go up hills, but t...
[S10-EV] 120 charger
Hello Gil Thank you for the added information. So at 86 degrees the 120 charger would not function. Since NiMH batteries heat up during charging and discharging. This is an unknown variable that would add heat. If the pack reaches 86 degrees from charging or discharging it wou...
[S10-EV] convenience charger test
Hi all, Well I can tell you since I've had a few days to digest it, that my appeal to the higher ups partially failed. They will not allow me to install a 240V charger. The reasons they gave me are that I do not have a contract with them after April 20th, and that I don't have...

Tom-- Thanks for your enhancements to our story. They are spot on, IMHO. I still fancy one of those 120V chargers, though, to support my fantasy of charging through the bathroom window at a ski lodge. Sorry about mixing up your electric cars -- you've had so many! --Gil At 1:2...
