Glad to hear you made it home safely. Looking forward to seeing the
custom cargo/camper bed when you get it finished!
Having purchased a 2017 Kia Optima PHEV and sold the 2001 RoadTrek
Camping Van and 1995 S-10 pickup in the last month, the average age of
our fleet has dropped from 17 years to 4 years....
Gas usage will probably stay about the same, as we rarely used the 2001
RoadTrek (for longer trips) and the 30 miles of all electric range on
the Kia is plenty for my wife's commute.

Hi Jay and All,
I'm the one who bought Jay's S-10 without the batteries and today I
put 24kwh/144vdc nom of new Bolt modules, 4 36vdc nom in it and It
started right up! ;^) Thanks Jay! Nice work.
I put my stimulus check to good use. ;^)
I'll be in the title office first thing Monday morning!!
My plan is to lighten it up by ditching the tilt bed and making a
light aero camping shell, etc to cut aero to about .24CD and add another
24 kwh once I build new battery boxes for hopefully a 200wthr/mile 230
mile range. But 120 miles hopefully will do for now. Just need to
secure them and ready to ride!!
The stock ICE weight was 2800lbs and I hope to cut that by 2-300 lbs,
get some used
Prius tires, change the trans, diff fluids if needed, etc.
It's got 4.2kw L2 charging once I get the voltages changed and I have
another 2kw charger to add 30mph of charging total.
Later maybe DC charging.
I'll make the camper convertible from cargo to camping in wood/epoxy of
course.. At that long to charge I'll need a place to sleep on trips
plus at any time because of my legs, back I will need to lie down.
And I'll be able to drive my wheelchair into it which I need for long
events when they come back. I'm ok for short times.
I need where to find a quart or 2 of heat sink compound to heat sink the
battery modules. Anyone know a reasonable price place to get such?
And anyone want a free tilting short S-10 bed in good shape and/or
camper top? It's just SE of Tampa.
I got a box of pactracker? battery side modules for free for 6vdc lead
batteries.
Starting the new yr right!!

I just sold my S-10 conversion but kept the 2013 Nissan Leaf Modules.
I've got all of the miniBMS units (plus a lot of broken ones and some
working spares) from them, so minimum 32 cells worth.
