All, these chargers are an excellent method of adding range to PbA vehicles. And every PbA truck owner should have one stowed behind the seat for emergencies. Mandatory "party pooper" warning: Unfortunately the 120v convenience chargers are of little or no value to NiMH truck...

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...
