Electric Conversion Chevrolet S10 Pickup 2001 on 2040-cars

Year:2001 Mileage:138000

West Branch, Michigan, United States

For sale is a 2001 S10 which has been converted to a plug in electric vehicle. This is a totally electric truck that runs on 12-12volt batteries (144 volt system), it has an onboard charger, so you just plug it in and when it's charged you can go. The charger works on regular 120volt plugs or can also be plugged into 220 volts to charge faster. It has a range of about 20 to 30 miles, but has room to install 12 more batteries which would double it's range. Top speed is over 70 mph, but the faster you go the less range you have. It runs and drives great but it could use a few more things like a heater and a speedometer (I use an app on my cell phone works great). I moved since I built it and now have too far to drive to work. I've drove it less than 1,000 miles since the conversion so everthing is basically new. The starting bid is less than I have in all the parts, let alone all the labor and the price of the truck. A minimum of $500 is due within 3 days of auction end and the remainder due when it is picked up. It can set here for a month if needed, its not in my way and I can help with shipping setup, but don't ask for quotes I'll assist but I won't do it. I am not a dealer or auto manufacturer so truck being SOLD AS IS.

Finally, the Audi A3 e-tron, BMW 330e, Toyota Prius, and Volvo XC90 T8 were the runners up for Connected Green Car. 2016 Connected Green Car of the Year, Green SUV of the Year, Luxury Green Car of the Year Winners Announced WASHINGTON, Jan. 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Green Car Journal has announced the winners of its prestigious 2016 Green Car Awards at a press conference held today during the Washington Auto Show's Public Policy Day in Washington DC. Distinguished as 2016 Luxury Green Car of the Year™ is Volvo's new XC90 T8. The Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid tops the field as 2016 Connected Green Car of the Year™ and Honda's HR-V earns Green Car Journal's 2016 Green SUV of the Year™. "These are stand-out vehicles in an increasingly sophisticated and appealing field of 'green' cars," said Ron Cogan, editor and publisher of Green Car Journal and CarsOfChange.com. "To make the cut as a finalist is a real achievement in itself considering the considerable competition in the market today. Rising to the top as award winners means these three exceptional vehicles set a benchmark in the auto industry's effort to create vehicles that are desirable and efficient, while also achieving environmental milestones so important for our driving future." The Green Car Awards are a key feature of The Washington Auto Show, the "public policy show" on the auto show circuit and one that puts a priority on safety and sustainability. "We are extremely proud of our partnership with Ron Cogan, whose eagerly anticipated suite of awards help shape the national conversation on the innovations that will drive our industry and country forward," said Geoff Pohanka, chairman of The Washington Auto Show.

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable

Fri, 21 Sep 2012

General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
