    Shot out to those who payed close attention to some videos and already know it's an S10 EV, not an EV1, if it was an EV1, Jared would be in BIG troubles with GM and we all know Jared is not that dumb. 🤣

      Are they still salty today? Man... GM seriously screwed the pooch with that exercise. Not only did they shot themselves in the foot, but they basically put a hater-label on their own foreheads. The CEO and BoD were drinking some stupid water or something. Even Exxon (the crimes against humanity dudes) knew back in the day which way things were going to go and had EV feelers on the markets to buy electric assets.

    Please say you got an EV1. I love them. GM was supposed to destroy all of them, but some stubborn people liked them too much.

    EV, historically significant, lead acid batteries. 99% chance it's an EV1...

    Happy Birthday Jerod. Mine was on the 10th! I know what you have. A lot of people don't know the same driveline used in the EV1 (which all but 3 were crushed), was also used in a limited number of S10 Pick-ups. I worked at a GM dealership in those days, and had a chance to see a few EV1s as well as S10 EVs at the GM training center in Burbank, CA. Although I looked, I could not find one for sale when I actually had money, LOL!

I don't understand why ordering insulared linesman gloves wasn't one of the first things to do months ago after getting the Tesla. No reason to wait until last minute and then not find any.

    Watching you struggle with the metal cover on the battery i had an idea. Next time treat it like a sardine can. Use a long piece of square tubing as the “key” and wind it back.

  • @jaredshadley
    @jaredshadley 6 месяцев назад +10

    Putting a modern battery pack in an old EV that uses Lead Acid or early Nickel Metal will give a modest performance boost though you would not think it at first. With the Lithium pack you will negate most of the voltage sag that would have been observed with the older battery tech. (Easy way to test this at home is to put a modern 2-cell LiPo battery in an old RC car)

    • @alanrickett2537
      @alanrickett2537 6 месяцев назад

      Should also get better volumetric and gravimetric density so more battery for the same space and weight would expect the space to be the limiting factor but depend on how tight the space was for the old pack

    I think the performance motor needs to go in the collector car so that it can become a second burnout car. I feel like an electric car with plenty of power would do an amazing burn out with having less issues with overheating and probably some pretty high wheel speed.

    It's the GM EV S10 Pickup Truck, not the EV1. They made around 500 of them and 60 were sold outright rather than leased. All of the EV1's were leased and then the majority were crushed once given back after the leases were up.

    Happy 40th Birthday, @Jared! I'm not scrolling down before responsong so this is a legit guess with no peeks at other answers. Gotta be the GM EV-1 that was made famous in the documentary "Who Killed The Electric Car?" Hoping I'm right and if so, what a beautiful idea it is to bring one of those back to life with parts from its spiritual descendant! Not your regular content but I'd be geeked out to see it!
