I'd rather have a t-zero. It costs less, gets to 60 mph faster, and has a longer range. Plus buying one will help AC Propulsion get to build Scion xB conversions. Best regards, Arthur At 10:13 AM -0400 9/27/04, Hausman, Steve (NIH/NIAMS) wrote: > >From an article in Car Connec...

All of the lead-acid S10E trucks originally had Delphi 12V batteries. All of those were changed out to Panasonic 12-volt batteries. The S10E always had 26 12-volt batteries, just like the EV1. On the EV1, the Panasonic batteries were far superior to the Delphi batteries, and t...

Hello, I am sure that others know where to get the manual, too. Helm Inc. sells the manuals for about $150. Delivery takes a week or so, then you would want to get some binders so that the loose leaf isn't flying everywhere. I, too, am seeing signs of a battery weaker than oth...

Gil, Congratulations! Welcome back to the world of EV drivers! My truck didn't run at all when I first got it, and it took me a few weeks and many dollars to get it running, so you are ahead of the game there. The diesel fuel is for the heater. You have a diesel-fired heater f...
