Well... I suppose it's time to explain this in some detail. I have discussed this problem privately with some owners, and shown those who have visited the EV Bones facilities some of the carnage resulting from catastrophic filter capacitor failure. It's bad. I did not want to...

Hi Gil and all - I don't know much about the EV1 problem, but I think it is a completely different situation involving a different part of the system. And I must clarify something - although there was real electrical damage to my truck, there was no real fire. No damage (or sm...

Hi, Jim-- I was very saddened to hear about the serious damage to your truck Thank you for your detailed report. You may have allowed other S-10E owners to avoid experiencing the same thing. I do have a few questions: Where can we buy those capacitors new? Do you have any sugg...

My S-10 is now up and running again after several weeks of trials & tribulations. Hopefully hearing my tales can save others the hassle of going through the same thing: It all began one fall day when I parked the truck in the driveway, plugged in the charger paddle, and while...

I have the opposite opinion, although no hard data. A slow charge using 120V would not heat up the batteries so the heat pump would not go on if the ambient temperatures are moderate (like much of the year in Oakland). This would be more efficient charging (albeit longer) beca...

So, should we conclude from this that the 120V charger is useless on the NiMH S-10s? This confirms Jeff's opinion when I asked him about the old EV1 120V 1.2kWchargers. He said that these are useless because no or very little amps will reach the pack when the heat pump is runn...
