12v replaced only a couple of months ago. I spoke to Jeff and he doesn't think anything I did with the new wiring is the problem. i.e. something new is broken. The "new" thing is the APCM which is apparently $4000 wholesale, $6000 retail and impossible to get anyway. That kind...

Well, if the fan is bad, and it results in an unintended indicating device that makes for an easy diagnosis, It's actually a good thing. So, for all you other S-10EV's out there: You're driving along happy as a clam, and then the contactors unexpectedly open (no power, service...

If they could be obtained that inexpensively, you can be sure that insiders and mechanics will snap up any good vehicles and simply throw in new i.c.e. motors for resale, but the gov. tracks the titles on each 'clunker', so it would be hard to title it...at least that is my op...

Hello Gil I think it is wrong to compare the S-10 to the RAV4. They are different vehicles for different uses. One is more of a passenger vehicle the other a truck. This is apples and oranges and you just cannot use the results to say one is better than the other. Also I would...

Hi, Don-- You're quite right. I had forgotten that the modules had different voltages, so that comparing ampere-hours between them was meaningless. Thanks for working out the more meaningful energy measure for the two packs: 27.4 kWh for the Rv4EV vs 29 kWh for the S-10E. You'...

The RAV4 is lighter and has a 50 KW motor. The S10 is much heavier and has an 85 KW motor I think. So it uses more electricity to get around. The RAV4 uses fans to cool the batteries. The S10 used a heatpump which uses much more energy. The batteries on the S10 do not have the...
