The Chevy S-10 is a battery electric vehicle that GM/Chevy made in 1997 and 1998 to comply with the California zero emission mandate from the air resources board (CARB). It used the same drivetrain as the milestone GM EV1. It was sold and leased as a fleet vehicle. As the fleet life of these vehicles ended in 2006-2008, the few that were fully titled (rather than leased) where auctioned to private owners. As a result, there are about 60 of these EVs on the roads today (mostly on the West Coast and in AZ).
The Chevrolet S-10 Electric was introduced in 1997 by General Motors, updated in 1998, and then discontinued. It was an OEM BEV variant of Chevrolet's S-10 pickup truck which ran solely upon electricity, and was marketed primarily to utility fleet customers.
