Sorry about the re posting of this ad. It was confusing and I tried to fix it from an old post but I can't delete the old one.
Thanks, Kevin

A few pictures. If interested at all, make an offer. I'm ready to move on.

I have posted this on eBay. It comes up tomorrow at 7 am. 8/20. I'll tell the people of this forum that my reserve is half of my asking price. Go for it!

Hoe it works.

My truck has been sold on ebay. It now lives in Germany.

Very cool! Did a museum in Germany buy it or a private citizen?

I just purchased a 1997 myself with dead ozonic batteries. Do you have have any pics of the tilt bed+custom battery box that I can see? looking for some inspiration to make this thing last into the next 23 years...

Interesting... I just sold my 2000 Ranger EV to a guy in Germany who said he also has an S10 EV. Must be the same guy, haha!

Nice! Was the ruck working? What kind of batteries? How much did you sell it for?

Hi! Yes, I bought these trucks. Private buy, but maybe they will find their way in a museum some day.

So the S10 from bjnkm2 was in a good working conditon (except dead battery, fully discharged during transport). I swapped the lead acid batterys for 120Ah BMW i3 Modules (ca. 42kWh). The truck is now 200kg lighter and is doing 100+ miles per charge. Acceleration improved to 7.2s for 0-50mph. I can create a thread about the truck and upload some pictures. Might take a day or two!

That is awesome! Yes - please create a thread. I am interested in knowing the following:

1) Are you using a separate BMS?
2) Are you still using the MagneCharge or are you using a separate charger for the new batteries?

Best,
Billy

I created this thread: Chevrolet S-10 EV - Battery upgrade to BMW i3 modules
Regarding your questions:
1)we are using the simpBMS for monitoring the bmw modules. The chevrolet bms is still working and is receiving fake cell voltages. It can still calculate state of charge and is working as it normally would with the lead acid batteries
2)yes, we still using the MagneCharge. I thought about adding a Typ2 inlet, but i think it's a bit of work to get it integrated into the bms including state of charge calculation.

Thank you for the mailing list! I did not know something like this existed!
