I've had my S-10 EV since Nov. 2001. Exactly as you describe, I've had the same experience at least a dozen times in the 28 to 37 mile range. I've been told that other S-10 EV drivers are getting 50+ miles per charge - and that my battery pack needs work... so Scott @ Performa...

Hi Jerry, I'm driving a PbA truck so this may not apply directly to you. 50 miles for a PbA would be optimistic. I have a panasonic pac with about 18K miles on it and get reliably 40 miles if I'm careful. I've heard ranges for the NiMH of about 55 miles (anyone with NiMH confi...

Howdy, I just took over the lease of Jerry Hudgins' S10 on Sunday night. After driving it home, I started charging it. It started at about 65% and indicated that it would take about 3 and a half hours. Four hours later it was at 96%. It seemed to take another hour for it to cr...

All, I'm willing to buy Tom Dowling's S10 if I can find a lower cost (less than $600/battery) battery to replace the pack. If anyone has a source, please let me know. Tom did mention the 20HP gas pusher idea, I'll think that over (rather go all electric). Thanks much, Dave (so...

Actually, the NiMH EV1 has 26 batteries, just like the PbA. The nominal voltage of the NiMH EV1 is 343 volts, whereas the PbA car is nominally 312 volts. The NiMh Ovonic battery does have 11 cells, 13.2 volts nominal, but it is the same size as the 12.0 v Panasonic PbA battery...
