Chinese TV news - Solar Ovens and Revived Battery Pickup EV

If I wanted to convert any vehicle to electric, I'd probably use 2 or 4 six volt DC L16 deep cycle batteries, which cost about $1,200 each but last ten years, especially if they are charged every day by either 12 volt DC (2 - 6 volt batts in sieries connection) or 24 volt DC (4 in sieries-parrallel) solar panels. Photovoltaic direct charging gives a five year battery, for example, a seven year life, compared to the fast charging done by AC 120 volt or 220 volt "housecurrent" converters-chargers.

Love this electric-conversion concept. ford ranger would be an excellent choice for that because the worst part about those rangers where their gas-guzzling fuel injection. but otherwise a simple and tough pickup with less resale value. perfect for an ev conversion
