' S-10 EV resto '

https://ecomodder.com/forum/member-a...oma-cd0-31.jpgVery cool! Very taboo!
The museums, fortunate enough to get an EV1/2 or S-10 EV variant for their collections had to sign agreements with GM that, they'd never attempt to make them road-worthy.
The lead acid/ Nickel-metal-hydride power density was the weak link. With contemporary Lithium technology, either of the GM EVs would be great commuters.
And with it's 'tiny' frontal area ( by modern pickup truck metrics ), and 'easy' Cd 0.315 capability ( Gale Bank's Racing, GMC S-15 Sonoma, LSR Bonneville aerodynamics ), the S-10 would have a really sweet CdA to go along with it's relatively light weight.
1996 range anxiety would be a thing of the past.
