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...

Hi Casey, You are correct. There is a newer bill which was passed in 2003 to extend the sunset clause, so the bill is still in effect. The keyword here however is "new". The DMV, according to those I spoke with, does not consider this legislation applicable to the S-10 since t...

Yes Tom, you are correct. The DMV will only extend the reduced registration fees for new vehicle sales from a dealer. Used vehicles from private parties will have registration fees based on the sales price (less depreciation over time). I've had a long discussion with the DMV...

There is such a law, but I believe it applies only to new vehicles. The law is SB 1782. Was this vehicle registered in California before? The registration fee (and sales tax) will be based on what you paid for the vehicle. Tom Dowling -----Original Message----- From: [email re...

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...
