This is the same question that I have posted on other videos on ....what do you do for heat in the winter? or is this stricktly for warm climate only? because if thats the case then you would have to install a genpac on the vehical to recharge and heat the cab....so much for no carbon foot print!.
The energy in the batteries is actually pushing the ranger through the air and causing the alternator fan to spin. You would have better range with the fan and alternator removed altogether.
I think it's a great idea that you are making a conversion kit. The ranger is a decent EV platform, and helping individuals doing a conversion by providing a kit is an excellent start.
However, the "free-air" capture is not a good idea. Do some research on free energy or perpetual motion machines and then rethink your free-air capture idea. Just think "what is it that's making the air flow past the fan?"
Great job with the motor/transmission and making a production kit.
What a rip off. Pay 13000 for 100 miles of charge. I rather get horrible gas mileage. That's so stupid, it'll never sell to anyone with any since

Surprising to hear about a dealership getting being involved in this, actually doing the install. What sort of waranty does it come with?

with a pick up you can stack battery's like mad.. I would put some power generators like solar and wind mills on the back.

Was that a manual 5-speed or Auto?
What is your power steering hooked up to and do you still get power brakes or are they manuals?
Thanks
