Howdy, In case Michael does not have any more of the EV Dash connectors, there are probably at least one or two former EV1 drivers who have one they can give you. We can re-post your message on the EV1 mailing list if you want. I gave mine to an S-10 EV driver a few months ago...

No, the S10E is not OBDII compliant in the way you'd like it to be, although it does have an OBDII connector. AutoTap and similar products will not work. The Tech II Scan Tool needs special software to work with the S10E, and I think the software may be different between PbA a...

Tom; With NiMH batteries, the Batt Life can be set under sustained hard acceleration, and is possible to set it quite easily below 60% SOC even with a good pack. Watch your voltage meter. It is likely diving left of center frequently. The truck is telling you to keep your foot...

So, anyone know all the different reasons the Batt Life light will come on? I had mine come on today with about 40% discharged, and I had traveled about 38 miles. I have NiMH batteries. So I was just wondering how many parameters are watched and tied into that light. The only...

Thanks Jerry, Thanks for the helps. My SOC gage did the drop trick, however it was after I drove at 65 mph for 50 miles and it was at 1/3 full, ( and I was thinking 50 miles at 2/3 of a charge was just great!) and of course the battery life light came on. Another time at 1/3 c...

Hi Tom, Good guess (I imagine it has something to do with uneven battery voltage). I'll offer my speculation on what the SOC gage represents. Since the S-10 shares much in common with the EV1, my guess is that the SOC gage corresponds with the bar graph that the EV1 has to sho...

Hi Tom, You can use the magnecharger or EV1 dash to compare your gage SOC with something digital in 1% increments to get a better calibration. Tom Dowling gave me a good explanation of this when I first got my S-10. The SOC gage shows full when it reaches about 7/8 full. So yo...
