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 has a good clear Oklahoma title.  

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.  I CUT MY RESERVE PRICE IN HALF TO SELL.

Bidders with Zero feedback like the buyer of this truck in the last auction have to contact me before bidding or I will reject the bid.  It cost time and money to Ebay and it is not fair to others when one can bid and not go through with the purchase.  The last auction the zero feedback bidder failed to respond to emails.  I have been on Ebay for over 14 years and this is the first time this has happened to me.  

I googled a government auction in Virginia in March of 2012 last month and found a 1997 S10 in the same condition sold for $7,000.00  My Reserve Price is a fraction of that price and even a lot lower than several bidders bid on my last auction.  I started to put it on Buy It Now, but I do like it being an auction instead.  

Any questions, please ask, my phone number is 405-238-5551. I am located 54 miles south of Oklahoma City and 73 miles north of the Texas state line above Dallas on Interstate 35.       

I reserve the right to cancel the auction on Zero or Low Feedback bidders if they do not contact before the end of the auction.  


On Feb-27-14 at 07:35:07 PST, seller added the following information:

 I added 3 more pictures with the bed on the truck.  I also found out yesterday the truck was at the University of Oklahoma on a Grant Program in the 90's.  After the Professor retired the University did not know what to do with the vehicle so it sat idle until they finally just wanted it removed to be out of the way.   I also received an email from an Ebayer telling me it is a USELECTRICAR and Yahoo has a website.       


On Feb-27-14 at 07:40:26 PST, seller added the following information:

 The pictures with the hood open, that is dirt and dust from many years of setting idle.  I did not want to wash or clean under the hood since I am not familiar with electrical parts.  It looks rusty, but it is not, that is dirt and dust. 


On Mar-06-14 at 06:10:18 PST, seller added the following information:

I cut my Reserve by more than half.

Recharge Wrap-up: Volt makes up third of Quebec Chevy dealerships sales, Tesla seeks Aussie talent

Wed, Nov 5 2014

A Chevrolet dealership in Quebec has had the Volt make up 35 percent of its sales so far this year. Bourgeois Chevrolet in Rawdon, Quebec received recognition for the feat at the 2014 Electric Vehicle Conference, where it won the award for Leading Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle Dealership. To sell that many, Bourgeois Chevrolet had to import used Volts from the US, and keeps about 50 units on the lot in various configurations. The conference also saw Park Avenue Nissan of Brossard, Quebec win the Leading Battery Electric Vehicle Dealership Award, and Loch Lomond Mitsubishi of Saint John, New Brunswick receive the award for Electric Vehicle Dealership Inspiration.

Ford, General Motors and Toyota have announced that they will shut down their Australian factories, leaving behind a lot of unused talent. Tesla recently held a "Recruiting Open House" in Melbourne for engineers to fill positions at its plant in Fremont, CA, where they will be paired with other Aussie engineers already on staff.

Valeo recently showed an electric turbo it plans to supply to an unnamed automaker at a fuel economy showcase event at the EPA's National Vehicle Emissions and Fuel Lab. Electric turbochargers have the advantage of greatly reduced lag when compared to exhaust-driven turbos. They also work well when paired with cylinder deactivation, providing a much-needed boost when driving on a grade, which can help reduce the need for cylinders to reactivate. Independence from the exhaust system also makes it easier to package the turbocharger wherever there is room. Read more from Navigant Research.

NHTSA investigates 1.7 million GM SUVs for windshield wiper failures

Tue, Nov 6 2018

WASHINGTON - The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said on Tuesday it is investigating whether General Motors should recall an additional 1.7 million sport utility vehicles due to an issue with windshield wiper failures. GM in August 2016 recalled 367,800 2013 GMC Terrain and Chevrolet Equinox SUVs in the United States to address the problem. But after receiving 249 complaints about similar problems, the federal agency said it is probing whether the recall should be expanded to include an additional 1.7 million vehicles from the 2010-2016 model years. The automaker said it is cooperating with the NHTSA review. GM said it recalled the 2013 GMC Terrain and Chevrolet Equinox SUVs "because warranty data showed a higher-than-expected failure rate," adding it has continued to monitor field data on other model years of those vehicles. GM noted that no crashes or injuries related to the issue have been reported. The Detroit-based automaker said the recalls were prompted after a GM Canada brand quality manager reported a potential safety issue relating to reports of windshield wiper failures in Canada through GM's "Speak Up For Safety," program in late 2015. The data showed significantly higher field incidents in parts of Canada, which prompted a June 2016 recall there. Over the next two months, a higher number of U.S. reports prompted a U.S. recall, the company added. In the 2016 recall, GM said the front-wiper module would be replaced with a module that has a water deflector and, if needed, dealers would fill the water management hole and drill a new small hole in a different location.(Reporting by David Shepardson, editing by G Crosse)Related Video: Government/Legal Recalls Chevrolet GM GMC SUV
