Talk:Chevrolet S-10 EV

This is a great vehicle, I wish they were still built so I could buy one... --D0li0 07:53, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

There is a company that makes an EV conversion for S10s if you are up to it. I don't think that we should necessarily include it in the article, though...anyways, it's called Canadian Electric Vehicles.--192.94.73.4 00:26, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

2 of them were sold on ebay so far in 2007 and EV Bones has sold one. So it is still possible to get one. I bought mine from a private seller in Feb 2007. Most have very low miles. Zero10one 07:12, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Production dates

Does anybody know if the production dates of 1997–1998 are for model years or calendar years? If no other information is presented then I will assume the dates are 1997–1998 model years and 1996–1998 calendar years.  Stepho  talk  04:36, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

Performance Wh values, should they be Ah?

Performance section lists Wh values per 100 miles, where are these from? Battery type should not have this large effect on consumption, and the values seem too large, and conflict with other documentation. Large size could be explained by numbers being Ah instead of kWh, but that does not explain why they are different for different battery types. Linked documents list consumption values from 214 to 310 Wh/mile, which seem in line with current electric cars. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hsuonsivu (talk • contribs) 16:17, 21 April 2014 (UTC)

range figures

Jerkey (talk · contribs) put this comment in the article. I removed it and put it here instead, where such comments belong.

Note: 1998 GM S10 EV NiMh numbers above are apparently wrong. This page lists the NiMH S10 with a 29 kWh battery and range of 72 mi (116 km) (EPA) which corresponds to 40.3 kWh/100 miles (403 Wh/mile). This corresponds to the NiMH version of the vehicle having a 357 lbs lighter battery pack than the Lead-Acid model.

I'm a bit confused by the comment. The article gives a figure of 41 kWh/100 miles for highway driving, which is pretty close to your figure of 40.3, rounded up instead of rounded down. I'm not sure where you got 357 lbs from.  Stepho  talk  12:44, 12 July 2016 (UTC)

There are two version of the vehicle, Lead-Acid and NiMH battery. The article accurately reports the figures published in the "Model Year 1999 EPA Fuel Economy Guide" but their number for the NiMH-battery version is incorrect, 940/860 Wh/mile is unreasonable. The (lighter) NiMH vehicle should get better (lower) Wh/mile than the Lead(-acid) model, and 403 Wh/mile is calculated from "Electric range" sidebar of the page. The 357 lbs figure is from the Batteries section of the page. I put the comment back onto the page. Thank you,Jerkey (talk) 08:16, 24 July 2016 (UTC)
