I think you made a good choice of vehicles. Looks like you didn't use the full capacity of the bed. Have you considered adding more batteries to get more range? Would the truck hold that more weight?

[imacrazydude9999999]

MAYBE, it weighs 4,400 lbs and the stock ranger EVs weighed like 5,000+ but the suspension in it now wouldn't hold too well. I really don't need range cause I charge everywhere I go and it's plenty. It's the least of my concerns with an electric car.

[dhymers]

do you have any idea wtf you're talking about ? most EV conversions have a comepletely seperate motor running the AC, powered independantly from the main pack = no parasitic loss mechanical or electrical.

not efficient enough ? oh 80% efficiency of electric motor not efficient enough fo you ? verses the 20% of an ICE ?

you clueless tool.

[macmntr]

Well, considering the AC runs on a different motor and battery usually, it won't do a Geo Metro and kill everything. And, if you're driving across country, then yeah, it's not efficient, but to work/school, it works excellent, just recharge at night. And, it costs less than $.30 a gallon equivalent, that's a bit cheaper than the current price, hovering around $3

ok now make this perfect put a solar panel in the back of the bed to charge the batteries, so you literally arent hurting the enviorment at all

[brentonwatters]

that was pritty dang dumb

[automotiveDIY]

should cover the roof and battery cover with solar panels.

there was a electric plug in for the 1999 ford Ranger pickup calls the Ranger EV. The truck can only cruise the top speed of 75 MPH with the govenor. The truck has a nickel-metal-hybride battery pack used to increase the truck's real world driving range to about 85 miles per charge but it requires 6 hours using a conductive charger.

Nice RIDE!! Good Vid also!!

I think you did a great job. Do you have a step by step plan so I could convert my gas car to electric? I need to know what one needs to buy, and then how it fits together.

thanks
