Fully Electric Ranger
 
I was watching the news the other day and there was a man who converted his ranger to becoming full electric. His engine bay had 4 batteries and there were, if i remember right, about 14 other batteires under his bed. Has anyone else seen this? I wanted to learn a bit more about it if i could

Yea i've seen a few EV rangers around in the past couple years. They sure are worth alot of money, whenever they have come up on ebay, they seem to run just under 20k

Even though its electric, you have to admit that it would be kinda cool. Cant do anything with except run around town but still!

yea....there's a "eco" car dealership that advertises one. They want like 24k for it. I believe it's like 60miles on one charge? wtf?

Trucker_Eric 07-23-2008 05:03 AM

ya, and then wat are you going to do? pull out a portable charger? but where are ya goin to plug it in? AT A GAS STATION! so really "saving a trip to the gas station" doesnt really make sense to me, :261:

It works for some people and some people it doesn't or they refuse to change their lifestyle or habits to drive one. Driving a hybrid is even different compared to a standard ICE engine. This difference if furthered when driving a fully EV. It has indicators to show charge left and it doesn't just shut off, it losses the umph and then dies. Plus if you have a cool job you can plug it in at work and not pay for the electric.

oh, kinda like an electric golf cart.
