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...

The S10E never had 8-volt batteries. It always had 26 12-volt batteries, just like the EV1. In most respects, the electronics and drive train of the S10E are almost identical to the EV1. It was the Ranger EV that had the 8-volt batteries. Performance Chevrolet in Sacramento wa...

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...
