That was my biggest complaint in the beginning and it went away with the grease bolts (3) that Norm Woodward provided in the suspension. Installed them with...
I occasionally spray all the rubber mounts under my Xebra with silicon spray. This not only protects the rubber from rot and oxidation, it also lubricates...
Hey, all! We just put a new Quiq in my Zap PK yesterday. I have Discover 12 A-A batteries. The QuiQ sent by Zap has the algorithm label "43" as the pre-set...
I'm in relatively dry Spokane, not the wet coastal region, but once I drove through a deep puddle, and my 2006 Xebra SD became intermittent in heavy traffic....
I'm not going to second guess the experts, because I don't use AGM batteries, but I understand that AGMs can handle slightly higher peak voltages than gels....

I just took delivery of a steel SD ('08/'09). Thanks Sean and Tiff! It doesn't just have a rattle. It has a bothersome, intermittent metallic popping sound...
I had a PK that was making the sound you are describing. If it is the same sound, it almost sounds like metal breaking. It was the swing arm bolts on the PK I...
My first thought was swing arm, but I haven't looked at it yet. It has that metal on metal sound like a bushing has gone out. I'll check it out. Thanks! M ... ...
I'm in Oregon and use State Farm for my ICE cars. It sounds like Progressive is way cheaper. Would I be giving anything up? Also, I just paid my accountant $95...
The charger in the new sedan points to the front of the vehicle. You have to open the hatch, lean the back seat up and open the cover to see the front of the...
That red is sharp. My customer ended up taking a white one because the red wasn't ready when she ordered. Mark Higley Midwest EV http://www.midwestev.com...
What are the new colors for the 2008? ZapWorld doesn't seem to have them listed yet, they still have the old nasty colors (sorry). I like the bright metallic...
With the exception of that popping, I too am extreemly pleased with the new v84x/Hatchback. This is going to be a very popular vehicle. I searched and...
Have a look at my videos on Xebraworld. I have an '06 SD and added 30Ah batteries to give it 130Ah. Originally they were in the rear passenger foot-wells, but...
I just got word from the building facilities at my job that I am NOT allowed to recharge my EV in the parking lot here. We're moving to a different building...
Let me clarify, I want to know if it can regularly do the 20 mile commute WITHOUT discharging the pack below what I should... I'm sure it will make it by the...
You are on the edge with the 20 mile round trip, but the hill I beleive takes you out of the window. It should make it, but it would be very hard on the pack...
ZAP prefers 43 for the 12A-As. DeltaQ told me either is fine. You are likely to see wild voltage variatons with your Discover batteries during charge. You...
Corin: Isn't it disappointing, and maybe short-sighted, that your employer won't let you charge your ev? I'm wondering whether they gave you a reason. I work...
Everybody talks about premiums, but few people talk about reliability. A cheap insurance policy is worthless if the company won't pay when you have a claim, or...
