It's not a bad choice for a lead-acid setup. The batteries are enormous and heavy, and the S10 swallows them without infringing on cargo and passenger space at all. Aerodynamically, the S10 isn't great, but a custom bed and tonneau cover would help with that. Did he at least have a full grille block? What kind of range did the EVs report?

E-wheel? That would be Mike Dabrowski's Insight. It's definitely innovative.
