1994 Ev, Electricar, Hughes, Electric Vehicle, Electrovehicle, Classic, Original on 2040-cars
Pauls Valley, Oklahoma, United States
1994 Chevrolet S10 pickup truck built in June of 1994 at the Shreveport LA plant. I found a lot of reading on 1997 and 1998 S10 electricars, but not on a 1994, other than Hughes Aircraft was the original designer and it was changed to Electricar. (The Controller on this truck is stamped HUGHES) I purchased the truck in Norman Oklahoma at an impound auction. The truck is in fantastic shape and I bought it for body and interior parts. The batteries were removed before I purchased it, so I have no idea what works and what does not. The original books are still in the vehicle including the Driver Briefing Card, Driver's Log Book for Product Evaluation Program, Owners Manual and cassette tape, manual for FM200 Floor Mount Inductive charger, and business cards from eV electrovehicle from Virginia Power in Richmond Virginia. The placards, or stickers, on the truck are different than the ones normally seen on trucks of this era. It also has a charging point in an opening on the front grill I have not seen on pictures of others. The second plugin port is behind what usually would be the gas cap lid. Under the hood is a whole new world for my eyes, but I can tell no components appear to have been taken off. Any questions about specifics that I wouldn't notice contact me and I will look and take pictures to send. The truck was at an impound auction I will receive a good clean Oklahoma title, but it usually takes several months to be processed. Once I have the title it can be immediately signed over to the new owner with no problems. I would guess the truck was given or assigned to the University of Oklahoma when it was new, but I cannot document that. You can tell the tires are all original including the spare which obviously has never been on the ground. The bed has no dents in or dings inside the bed and again obiously was never used as a truck or to transport cargo. Outside the bed has very light bend where the bed was taken off to get to the batteries. The cab has several very small hail dents from living in Oklahoma. Overall the body is exceptional. The interior is cloth with no tears, the dash board has some cracks on top, but all in all it is also in exceptional condition. I believe this is a very rare truck that was used to proceed the building of the 1997 and 1998 models which didn't work out for GM. |

Chevy Colorado, GMC Canyon get updated tachometers due to graphical error
Sun, Feb 8 2015After James Bearing bought a Chevrolet Colorado, he noticed a discrepancy between the truck's spec sheet and the truck's tachometer: Chevrolet said 3.6-liter V6 in the little pickup produces 305 horsepower at 6,800 rpm, but the the tachometer indicates a redline at 6,500 rpm. So either he wasn't making as much power as he was promised, or the tachometer display was incorrect. Bearing said he asked Chevy about it but got no response. Until now. A General Motors spokesman said the rev limiter is indeed set for 6,800 rpm, but the tach graphics "are slightly off" in the Colorado and the GMC Canyon, and submitted an SAE horsepower certification to back him up. If you're wondering how such a thing got past quality control... well, let's just say you're not alone. GM is going to fix "the graphics on future trucks," which makes it sound like Bearing will just have to learn to live with the indicated redline he's got. He could always pretend he's driving a sleeper, with four more ponies waiting to be unlocked in the danger zone for those who dare.
