FYI: EV-Ranger on ebay - not a conversion.

One of the factory-built rigs. Only a few left, like the EV1s... most got crushed.

This looks very interesting, put it on the watch list. I wonder how fast it could go?

 

[TylerDurden]

It should be able to reach highway speeds (>55mph).

Parts could be an issue. A conversion would have a larger community of owners and resources.

I think Ford limited it to 75mph. Probably has a Siemens motor in it. As I recall, around a 300V system.

The Siemens motor is very good. I think you can still get parts for the motor and controller.

There's a spare motor on the 'bay for $2k...

The EV Ranger sold for US $15,634.00!

Not bad for a factory EV, with all the trimmings.

Replacing the pack will cost $$, but so does gas.

I agree, that was a heck of a nice truck. The price was right.
