I am planning to install a new stereo. I can't listen to most AM and lower frequency FM stations due to the Motor Controller EMI. 1. Is there any concern...
Interesting. Does your car have the zippered wire mesh shield wrapper around the three Anderson connectors (usually red/white/blue) between the motor...
I, too, have had problems with RFI. I presumed that all Force owners experienced it. The zippered wire shield doesn't do much good even when installed...

I think that including other Solectria EVs like the S-10 and the Sunrise (looks like Azure Dynamics have been selling the Sunrise Bodies they had in stock) is...
I agree and I have notice that some Force owners also own an E-10 as well. This would help both Force and E-10 owners. The sharing and exchange information...
Yesterday I made the trip to NJ (from NY) to tow back our "new" 1997 Force that was one of several being sold by TransOptions. These cars had been based at a...

A small amount of jerking on startup is normal, but a large amount is a sign of a bad speed sensor. Do you know anyone nearby who has a Force that you can...
I'd be OK with E-10 discussions here, but I'd also note that Tom Hudson recently announced that he has started an E-10 forum at http://portev.org/forum You can...

Congratulations Jim! I'm still waiting for the shipping company to pick mine up. Hopefully, they will have the chargers disconnected by then. I wonder if the...
I have the same Avcon option on my Force. It is a conductive charging port but you may want to keep it because there will be charging stations that you will...
Hi Will, What year is your Force? If you have the Avcon option, do you also have an on-board charger? What model is it? Thanks, Noel L 1997 Solectria Force...

I have been having a problem with my AH meter. The meter runs just fine during acceleration and cruising, but during some regens the meter's value will...
My reaction is the same as Kevin's. There is no direct connection between those two devices, so what you're seeing "shouldn't" happen. That doesn't mean the...
I found the plug for the charger in the trunk... and did a successful 120 volt "opportunity charge". Using this direct connection to the charger bypasses what...

Hey Jim, It's great that we have the NLG4 and can perform an opportunity charge. Can you see what controller and DC/DC converter is installed? Mine has an A/C...
It is a 6-20 plug, just like Will's. The sticker on the gas flap from pre-Avcon days says it needs 16 amps at 240 volts. I don't know if that includes the...

Probably not. 3300W / 240v = 13.75 amps for the charger alone. That would leave only 540W for the heater. Ed Garcia Jim Coate <jbc@...> wrote: It is a...
