I have held off replying, as this is still very difficult to think about. When Bryan called me it was a total shock. Not only that day, but not able to fall sleep until 5 AM in the morning. Jeff and I enjoyed many days together working on the S-10's and our family's spent time...

Most likely it's a conversion of some sort if it is truly a 1994 chassis. Unless it was a conversion using the drive train from one of the '97-'98 production models, you'll likely find very little hardware in yours that is in the production models. Greg Brewsaugh 3EVs + PV in...

I suspect that your drop in range on the new RAV4-EV is due to lower average temperatures lately in So CA. (I'm in Huntington Beach.) I was somewhat alarmed to see the same thing in our 2011 Leaf and Volt as Winter approached. Range came right back up in the late Spring the fo...

Richard, I agree with Gil--I have experienced the same problem of the connector failure in the +12 wire that feeds the pack fan. The test, as Gill states, is pushing a pin through the wire and then commanding the fan on with the tech 2., and measuring the voltage on the pin. O...
