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...

Hi Mike, After Tom's response I found this (which I failed to forward to group): SB 1782 (Thompson M)--as Enacted, 09/28/98 Exempts from the vehicle license fee the incremental cost of a new, alternative fueled, ultra-low emission vehicle (ULEV). Existing qualifying vehicles w...

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...

Hey Jeff, Let's not forget Charlie Garlow's '97 PbA S-10 here in the Maryland suburbs of Washington, D.C. Charlie, who is VP of EVA/DC, purchased his S-10E from a Maryland utility some years ago, and there may be others that were sold in this manner as well (but I have no idea...

Thanks Jerry, Thanks for the helps. My SOC gage did the drop trick, however it was after I drove at 65 mph for 50 miles and it was at 1/3 full, ( and I was thinking 50 miles at 2/3 of a charge was just great!) and of course the battery life light came on. Another time at 1/3 c...

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...

Thanks Jerry, What you describe is what I am getting. That sudden drop at the last 30% is not nice. I am wondering what the gage is looking at to display what it displays. It obviously is not voltage, or it would be a nice even drop until the batteries voltage was reduces from...

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...

Where does the SOC gage get its information? My gage seems to have a mind of its own. I can go 23 mile until the first big line, then 11 more, 34 total miles to the second big line, then it picks up speed fast. So I was wondering what information the gage works off of to deter...

I think the mileage retrieval situation may be different between the 1997 S10E and the 1998 S10E -- but I'm not sure about that. I vaguely recall that the mileage did work on EV1 Dash on my 1998 S10E when I had it, but my recollection could be faulty. I believe that the 1998 S...
