Hi folks,
Looks like Charles Clark is selling his S-10 EV (
Charles Clark, Jr.'s 1994 Cheverolet S-10). I'm going to go take a look at it this Sunday if he hasn't sold it by then.
It's a "factory built" EV, rather than a conversion from a production ICE. Sounds like the batteries need replacing (it's got 52 12v 42Ah batteries
), so I'd be interested in some suggestions there too. Seems like I could go with 26 70 - 80Ah batteries instead (it's a 312v system
) while maintaining about the same range as the original set of 52.
Goal is to use this for my daily commute of ~25 miles... which has a ~2000ft climb in the dark (and potentially in the rain) on the way home.... though I do have the benefit of a charging station at work.
Thoughts? Good idea? Bad idea?
