Vehicle Detail

1998 Ford Ranger EV. The Ford Ranger EV was built from the ground up as an electric vehicle and is NOT a conversion. This was Ford's answer to the EV1. It is a little-known chapter in Ford's history and only a few thousand were built. Bill Ford once drove one. Even fewer remain on the road today because many of the leased vehicles were crushed. There are estimates that as few as 200 still remain and even fewer are fully functional. The red trucks are even rarer. This truck was my personal truck and will run fine once the batteries are replaced. The battery pack was lowered, the dead batteries removed and the sense wires labelled so the pack is ready for the replacement batteries. There is an active online community for these trucks and plenty of information about how to replace the batteries or even how to upgrade the pack to LiFePo4 batteries which longer life and extended range. The truck was owned by the University of Michigan and has less than 9000 original miles on it. I will work with the buyer to arrange shipping. The PCS (charging station) is not included in the sale. I can help you locate one (estimated at about $250). If you have any questions please ask them before the end of the auction. A lot of people are asking about replacing the batteries. I would recommend that you go to http://www.fordrangerev.com/Battery_Options.html to explore your options. A lot will depend on the batteries that you choose.
