This is a truck I bought last spring to take on as project to restore.  Due to health issues and retirement. I'm letting her go. When I bought this truck I felt like it had to be a pro to type of the electric cars. I still think I'm right. I've had people on line tell me that it was most likely a conversation car. If it was it would have had the clutch and transmission mounts visible what I have read is that in 1994 there were 50 vehicles some S 10's some Rangers and one other type of vehicle taken straight off the assembly line and take over to Hughs Aircraft company where the made them with the Electric dolphin electric motors and battery packs installed.  They were all leased to electric companies and Universities. These were done under leases in most cases. (In 1978-79 Chevrolet Started the evo sales what Ive read is only about 60 cars were sold. The rest was put into lease programs and leased to mainly electric companies with what GM called a dead end program. Which meant the were taken back at the end of the leases and distroryed so GM wouldn't have to supply parts for these vehicles.) What I do know about this truck was it was sold to and Electric company and then was given to the University of Oklahoma.  I do know that a lot of the 78 and 79's were leased to Universities to test. See how many miles on a recharge and basic testing like speed. Every trip was recorded. This truck has a true 5255 miles on it. The spare tire still has the knobbies on it. After testing the truck has just been setting at OU until they decided to sell it, after all these years. I feel like it should be in a museum. It has a 220 volt charging port in the front grill and a 110 volt under gas tank door.  There are no batteries which the try for them is under the bed. I also don't have the chargers for it.  It really wouldn't matter the original battery were lead acid and the newer batteries are more power and longer charge.  Which will take a different charger. I hope someone wants this truck, to keep it for what it was meant to be. I have this truck on other sites, and up for sale locally. I reserve the right to stop the auction at any time. If it makes the low reserve I have on it. I will let it sell on ebay. I've been burned on here by people wasting my time after getting the winning bid.  I hope we don't play that game again.  I will answer any and all questions about the vehicle. Thanks for looking and good luck!

Survey says $25k barrier is a problem for EVs

Sun, 01 Dec 2013



The majority of consumers are more or less priced out of the market.
Electric cars are gaining popularity with the general public, but are they still too expensive? According to a survey 1,084 consumers by Navigant Research, a consulting firm located in Boulder, CO, 71 percent want their next car to cost under $25,000, while 41 percent won't go a cent above $20K. Looks like people are even thriftier than we'd originally thought.

GM recalls 3.6 million vehicles for airbag-software problems

Fri, Sep 9 2016

The Basics: General Motors is recalling 3.64 million vehicles across its lineup for an airbag-related issue. The recall covers the 2014-2015 Buick LaCrosse, Chevrolet SS, and Spark EV; 2014-2017 Chevrolet Corvette, Trax, Caprice PPV, Silverado 1500, Buick Encore, and GMC Sierra 1500; and 2015-2017 Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, Silverado HD, GMC Yukon, Yukon XL, Sierra HD, Cadillac Escalade, and Escalade ESV. The Problem: Affected vehicles have a sensing and diagnostic module that controls the airbags and seat-belt pretensioners. The software it uses has a defect that can prompt the module to run a diagnostic test under specific driving conditions, which will also deactivate the front airbags and pretensioners. This means that it would be possible for those safety systems to not activate in a crash, potentially leading to injury or death. Injuries/Deaths: General Motors began an investigation that led to the recall after a 2014 Silverado was involved in a crash in which the airbags did not deploy. No information was given as to injuries or deaths. The Fix: Owners can bring their vehicles to a local General Motors dealer where a software update will be installed to fix the issue. The fix will be free of charge. If you own one: General Motors will contact owners of affected cars, and owners can check whether their vehicles are affected by visiting entering their vehicle identification numbers at either the GM Owner Center website or the NHTSA website. Owners can then schedule a time to have the update installed. Related Video:

GM recalls select Chevy Cruze, Sonic and Buick Verano models over airbag issue

Wed, 14 Nov 2012

General Motors is recalling certain 2012 Buick Verano, Chevrolet Cruze and Sonic models due to a defect in the driver's airbag system. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the airbag has a shorting bar which may contact two internal terminals. If that happens during a crash, the supplemental restraint may not deploy, increasing the risk of driver injury. The recall includes a total of 2,949 units.
GM will contact owners and replace the steering wheel airbag coil at no cost. At this point, it's unclear when the recall will begin, though owners may contact the automaker at 1-800-521-7300 for more information. You may also take a closer look at the full NHTSA notice below.
