I was just searching around for trucks today and came across this:

Apparently its a 1997 electric Chevy S10, based on GM's Saturn EV1. Just thought it was interesting so I'd share it.

I would like to see a picture of where they put those 26 batteries. I wouldn't want to service that thing either

huh, weird... I wonder what 0-60 that thing does- most electric cars are pretty quick since their electric motors can wind up super quick.

Did anyone ever see "Who Killed the Electric Car"?

Its fascinating, and the story of the life and death of the Saturn EV1 is almost infuriating.

I also find it interesting that the current winner of the auction is "Bidder6". Probably an GM employee incognito looking to confiscate it. Theyve bid on that thing 12 times.

OT but if Tesla has anything to say about the death of the electric car with their 269hp 200+ft/lbs torque electric roadster...it may not be so bad.

edit: I read this time, never knew GM put the EV1 motor in anything but the saturn, neat!
