Thank you for this. It is an interesting contrast on the CBS piece: Ken Stewart of GM smilingly quips about the lack of demand, while the remaining EV1 pilots struggle to hold back their tears as they talk about losing these cars. On Wed, 25 Jun 2003 20:42:33 -0700 "Tom Dowlin...

Hi Jerry, Thanks for the run down. Re-inserting the paddle did not do the trick in my case, although admittedly I only tried it once. I'm running lead acid Panasonics, so my firmware might be slightly different as well. Never had a range surprise on this truck, and it's always...

Hi Mike and other fellow S10 E drivers, I have had this happen several times, although I have never used the ignition key as a remedy. In nearly every case, removing the paddle, waiting a few seconds and reinserting the paddle seems to allow charging to continue normally. Most...

Hi Jerry, Thanks for the info. This has been the M.O. for mine as well, until yesterday. I tried to top off the charge last night (It hadn't been driven for several hours and was showing 85% full on the charger) when it went into "check vehicle" mode. Three or four power cycle...

Hi All, I've experienced a problem with my S10-E the last couple of days and wondered whether anyone has seen it before. When I plug it into the MagneCharger (Gen I) it starts charging normally and runs for several minutes (anywhere from 5 to 15) then the charger shuts down an...

Paul, I am interested in those Panasonics if the price is right. Pricing seems to have gone up faster than the price of gas in the last 6 months. I have 2 vehicles that need all new batteries and can't afford $600 per module. Let me know, Tom Convey ----- Original Message ----...

I'm starting to think that I've got a battery issue. The best range that I've seen on my 98 PbA is about 45 miles. This was also driving flat freeway at less than 60MPH with cruise control. This also included extremely careful acceleration driving the mile from my home to the...

Jerry, The SOC gauge on the S10E is rather confusing, and takes some getting used to. There are seven major divisions. In reality, there's a phantom eighth division. It's easiest to conceptualize if you think of the guage as having eight divisions, each 1/8 (12.5%) of the tota...

I've had my S-10 EV since Nov. 2001. Exactly as you describe, I've had the same experience at least a dozen times in the 28 to 37 mile range. I've been told that other S-10 EV drivers are getting 50+ miles per charge - and that my battery pack needs work... so Scott @ Performa...

Hi Jerry, I'm driving a PbA truck so this may not apply directly to you. 50 miles for a PbA would be optimistic. I have a panasonic pac with about 18K miles on it and get reliably 40 miles if I'm careful. I've heard ranges for the NiMH of about 55 miles (anyone with NiMH confi...
