I just bought a 2002 GEM with about 800 miles on it. The Trojan batteries were replaced less than 18 months ago (about 150 miles ago). My question is...
The more important question will be what is the voltage of the batteries while under load, if one sags harder than the rest it will hold you back. I've seen...
Chuck, I posted this same question about a month ago as I am having the exact same issue. Charge it up, leave it for an hour or two, and 75% charge remaining....
It's possible it's an issue inside the controller as well, but if that were the case the soc reading would drop for no apparent reason. If this is the case...
Well, next week my EE will come out to work with me on my GEM. First off, we plan on replacing the main contactor to solve the -57 error messages. After it...
Curious, did you prove the contactor was indeed the problem? Did you jump the contactor and have the error go away? The Deka 8 volt batteries should give a...
Scott... 30Amps, so much for charging on any other "ordinary" outlet! Hope you don't get stranded from home. ... From: lord-kat<mailto:GemCarDoors@...> ...
Bill, The 30A would be for the off-board charger. The NG3 is even larger than the Delta-Q charger that GEM is now using. There is absolutely no room left in ...
Rick, I agree. We ruled out the twist-lock. Zivan will email some plug suggestions. We'll use 6 gauge wire that will handle the 30 amp charger. I'm leaning...
Well actually if your looking for the most efficiency I'd look in to a charger that takes a 120 vac input at a higher current. Generally the closer to the...
I've been running around in my GEM for a week or so now. I'll take it out just to drive it around the neighborhood in the evenings and all over the shopping...
Hi! My Gem is finally coming back to me this Sunday. It has been hard not having it for two and a half weeks already. As cold as it's getting here though it...
Hello, Yes, this happens to me from time-to-time. It seems that the headlight position varies when the hood is closed. A slight change in how the hood closes...
Rick, The Anderson power link might be helpful. Thanks for sending. Sorry, but the upgrade plan doesn’t call for AC. High on the list will be the heated...
i suggested to tracy that this is the answer to her door lock problem: http://www.thehoffmangroup.com/Autoloc/Products/Products_UDS.lasso ... bags of ... store...
The mount for the headlight isn't the most secure mechanism and if they slip, they point up. One of mine makes for a nice tree light at the moment. I need...
Why not just get the trunk pack which is lockable? Rick Tracysbeans@... wrote: Scott, NO I haven't got my car back YET! Not until Sunday. I might have more...

How valuable is range of your NEV? I've heard anywhere from 25 - 70 miles, but do you pay for what you get? What is your vehicle's range, and how much did you...
Right on! This is definitely the way to go. I agree 110% Great suggestion. Scott ... From: NEVs@yahoogroups.com [mailto:NEVs@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of ...
I've been concidering putting an inexpensive truck box / tool box at the front of the bed. Walmart has a black plastic one that is roughly 48x24x24this is...
Shawn, This is what I was thinking about too. How would you secure the box to the bed? With heavy chains? I was thinking if I found a box with handles I could...
Ohh, I was thinking you had a 2 or 4 passenger for a while for some reason. Yeah, trunk pack won't work, that's what I had on my 2 passenger which I drove to...
I've no idea what my range is. The longest trip out-and-back I've taken has been about 3 miles, and I never expect a trip to be over 5 miles, unless I'm just...
... miles, ... Not sure what it is you are looking for.? My 2002 is rated for 25 to 30 miles under ideal conditions. I deal with many hills and stop start...
you will pay a good bit for a califonia roadster. but with an AC upgrade charge up hills and get some pretty good distance. the 70 mile range is only RE test...
See photo in photo section under album called David GEM. The accent board uses the existing holes in the GEM. The front 2 bolts on each side go all the way...
Yeah that's what I think I will end up doing. I was thinking though instead of bolting it to my bed I could just chain it by the handles to the side rails. I...
Bolting is much better than chaining. With chains it's going to slide around and rattle a lot. With bolts it's tight to the bed and will neither slide nor...
