1985 Chevy S-10 conversion, completed in 2007.
I chose an older PU to convert because it had;
   Manual Transmission
   No power steering
   No power brakes
   No AC
The batteries are used up, need new ones. I am retired now and don't need to commute to work every day. Its been sitting in my garage while I was contemplating to replace the batteries or upgrading to lithium ion or to sell. I decided to sell.

Runs on 120vdc, 20-6v golf cart batteries.

Over $10,000.00 invested into it.

Advanced DC Motor model FB1-4001 Series-wound
   28HP continuous
   30HP 1-hr thermal ration
   85HP peak @ 600-amp
Curtis-PMC Motor Controller
   500 amps Max. Current, 2-min. Rating
   375 amps, 5-min. Rating
   225 amps, 1-hr. Rating
Zivan #NG3-120 On Board Battery Charger, 120VAC – 120VDC
Zivan #NG1-DC 12 volt Converter to run lights, horn, radio wipers, ect.

With this figuration the top speed should be 80mph and usable range of about 60-65 miles, Depending on battery temperature and how the vehicle is driven. I had it going 65mph to see what it could do. There are no roads with a higher speed limit in my range. Of course the EV has a shorter range at highway speeds. I could always count on a 50 mile range.

As promised, Chevrolet and GMC are offering a live webcast of the world premiere for the all-new 2014 Silverado 1500 and Sierra 1500. After being teased with spy shots and blurry images like the one above for ages, now is the time to see the trucks in the metal, for real (well, as 'real' as it gets on a webcast, at any rate).
Shift your eyes down just below to see the reveal as it happens, starting at 9:30 AM EST. We anticipate having loads of images full technical information to share after the webcast, too, so truck aficionados should stay tuned. We'll also be bringing you live images of both trucks too, when we see them on the show floor at next month's Detroit Auto Show.

GM recalls 8,500 Chevrolet Malibu models for rear suspension glitch

Mon, 04 Feb 2013

According to a letter from General Motors to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, flaws in the build process of the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu have led to the recall of 8,519 cars. Units built between December 6, 2011 and January 15, 2013 may have been assembled with rear suspension cradles that had insufficient torque applied to certain bolts. That out-of-spec assembly could lead to issues ranging from slight noises to a loss of vehicle control.
The problem was first noticed in December of last year by a GM test fleet driver and eventually tracked back to the improperly torqued bolts on the suspension cradle assembled through July 2012 by a supplier located not too far from the Malibu's Detroit/Hamtramck Assembly Plant. Since an official NHTSA recall notice has not been issued yet, it isn't clear whether or not Detroit-built Malibus were the only ones affected (the 2013 Malibu is also built at GM's Fairfax Assembly Plant in Kansas City, Kansas). Dealers will fix the problem by inspecting vehicles for proper torque specs, retightening if not within specs and, in some cases, perform a rear-wheel alignment.

Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept blends the past and the future

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

The Chevrolet Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo is the rare concept car that salutes a seminal moment in history, yet also borders on science fiction.
Revealed Wednesday at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the concept uses the name of one of Chevy's historic racing partnerships, with Chaparral Racing, which dates to the 1960s. Chaparrals raced successfully at a range of levels, including IndyCar, Trans-Am and SCCA competition.
But the history ends there, as the concept's main purpose is as a racecar in a downloadable update for the PlayStation 3 game Gran Turismo 6.
