Most people would not know or think about the following. I have to admit the slick response the S-10 was not built as a ground up EV does at first sound reasonable. However this answer from GM Dave Barthmuss is vague and for good reason. They do not want you to consider the fo...

I will second that the S10 EV was also completely unknown to me until I stumbled across one on ebay (being sold by evbones...a rarity to see them on ebay). I helped to build and race Montana State University's solarcar entry in to GM's 1995's SunRayce. In 1995 the energy was h...

I have the opposite opinion, although no hard data. A slow charge using 120V would not heat up the batteries so the heat pump would not go on if the ambient temperatures are moderate (like much of the year in Oakland). This would be more efficient charging (albeit longer) beca...

So, should we conclude from this that the 120V charger is useless on the NiMH S-10s? This confirms Jeff's opinion when I asked him about the old EV1 120V 1.2kWchargers. He said that these are useless because no or very little amps will reach the pack when the heat pump is runn...

I have to say it is a very clean vehicle. I wish I could attend to refitting the pack with NiMH sooner. It was a top rate banner-holder when Mike had it parked at the EV1 Burbank vigil. And, it's been immortalized in the WKtEC movie footage... Regards, Jeff Thomas On Nov 15, 2...

Hi All, I'm considering selling my S10-E. It's a 1998 PbA with 38,000 miles on it. The truck is badly in need of a new battery pack, but otherwise is in great running condition. It's got no significant body damage, except some small dents and scratches inside the bed. I've dri...

The simple answer is GM did not sell the EV1 because it did not want to. GM sold the S-10 with exact same running gear as the EV1. There was less S-10 trucks on the road than the EV1 so the excuse of meeting some Federal law sounds like a ridiculous excuse. GM made a very limi...
