Eric-- Thank you! Thank you for your excellent reporting and keeping after this story. It has a happy ending only because of the "swirl of media attention." Thank you for your very significant part of the swirl. --Gil

Tom, I have done a considerable amount of tire testing in the last year, and the winner is the Goodyear Assurance 215/78 R15 These are the closest facsimile to the discontinued original Uniroyal Tiger Paw High Efficiency LRR tires, and permit 44psi max inflation. They are also...

Would some kind of high pressure (high load) truck or trailer tire work? My guess is it's the high pressure that is responsible for most of the low rolling resistance. -jim On Fri, Jan 21, 2005 at 05:33:10PM -0800, Tom Dowling wrote: > > Has anyone found a good source for the...

Has anyone found a good source for the correct low rolling resistance tires for the S10E and the Ranger EV? I know when I tried to find tires some time ago, I couldn't find any, either through the Chevrolet dealer or through America's Tire or Tire Rack. Dave Raboy asked me rec...

Hi Gil, I'm in the SF Bay area, on the Peninsula. I might be interested in sharing a Tech II. I haven't decided how much I'd be willing to put into it yet though. Even $500 seems like a lot. Maybe $250 would be ok. So to make that work we need around 10 people to share one. Yo...

Hi, Tony-- Glad you enjoyed the messages. I'm having fun with my truck, too. Part of that is learning how to diagnose and repair glitches and range issues. I'm learning a lot more than I ever knew about my EV-1. This is a good thing. It really is fun. Now, about S10E... Hmmm....

Anyone want to share a Tech II? They seem to cost $2700, but surely you don't need one for more than a few months out of the year. If you already have one, would you like to sell a part interest in it, or rent it out for a few weeks? If you live far away it really doesn't matt...

Jim, you're right about the NiMH charging. I'll elaborate on the problems with these chargers, and their usefulness. The convenience charger; as EV1 drivers knew, were included with first generation vehicles as a means of adding a few amps to the pack when a 120VAC 20AMP outle...

Hello Casey As far as I know the 1997 and 1998 S-10 EV would be the same except it only has a drivers side airbag and no stock CD player. So either year should give you an idea of what an S-10 EV would be like. I highly recommend the S-10 EV it is a great vehicle. The 1998 wit...

Well said, Don. 300+ volts, maintenance free batteries, and an AC direct drive means performance and range. You can have all of these with a GM S10. EV Bones has several very young S10s, some with NiMH batteries that could yield better than 70 or 80 miles range. These trucks s...
