OK, but if you do that you need to factor in oil changes, tune-ups, muffler, radiators and so on. My batteries are about 10 cents per mile but most of my...
Hello Rob My 97 Force has almost 18,000 miles on the first set of batteries. They are 8 years old and still get around 20 miles range. They are lead acid. Don ...
Since my car has NiCD batteries, reportedly good for over 100K miles, I don't expect to be changing the pack before the car body's shot. Our miles-per-year...
I will have had my Force for 1 year on the 3rd of Sep. I have driven it almost exactly 4000 miles. The immediate cost of the electricity has been $00.00 at my...
PV power! Way to go, Mike! I just got back into doing my PV/EV meter reads and in the past year, my PV array has produced 1131 kWh while my Force used only...
Hi everyone, I'm new to this message list and so appreciate all of your wonderful input and information. It's very informative. I'm looking to buy a Solectria...
I don't have much to add to Tom's source recommendations. Those are pretty much the best ways of checking. I've been looking in sort of a "casual interest"...
Tom: When you add in the cost of battery amortization, what kind of figures to you get? Up here in Boise, electricy is 6 cents a KWH and at 4 miles/KWH, energy...
There is one advertised on my web site (evfinder.com) a 1993 Solectria Force Hatchback. The listing is about nine months old but it might still be available....
I might be putting mine up for sale soon. It was for my wife but she has not really warmed up to it. It is one of the last ones manufactured, a 2001 (In...
Hi Ed, I'd love to see pics of it - does it have the interior back together now? And Noel, I went ahead and sent an email to Olaf - thank you. Also, I found...
If Olaf still has one, he'd be a good guy to get it from -- He used to work at Solectria and would have it in good condition, I would think. A '96 should be...
Hey Ed, I'm just around the Bay from you in Castro Valley. Your Force would go well with my NiMH batteries and Solar PV system. Also it would make my wife...
Hi Everyone, I'm a new member to the list and am thinking about purchasing a Force. I have been able to test drive one and read thru many posts on the list....

Hello All, I'm a new member with a 2000 Solectria I purchased this summer. I love it and I have lots of questions. What type of charger am I looking for? I...

Hi, Some of the avcons in CA get no usage since the removal of certain production EV's so be sure to see if you can have someone verify its operation. The...
The easiest replacement option is to get a set of group 27 Deka Dominators, part number 8G27, with the T881 terminals. You may only be able to get 8G24's with...
I think the price is going up because the vehicles are scarce. I paid $13,000 for my 1998 Force with 18K miles and batteries needing replacement. Ken...
