All Electric Ford Ranger - Drive Past Gas Stations! on 2040-cars
Deer Park, Washington, United States
|
For sale is a 1987 Club Cab Ford Ranger that has been converted to electric. Electric conversion was PROFESSIONALLY done. All wiring and components laid out in a safe and neat manner, and labeled so those of you who are curious to how it works can trace everything! It is a great truck for local driving at any speed as it is not limited to 35 mph as many electric cars are. I have regularly used it to run errands, grocery store, hardware, church, etc. It is best suited to local drives, at speeds up to 45, but it will get up to speed on the highway if needed. I have personally driven it 15 miles at 65 mph, but she was tired when she got there :) It comes with the charger specifically suited to its 144 volt system, and the charger can sense 110 or 220 and charge accordingly.
Everything works just fine and it is a good looking truck, it looks like it only has 30,000 miles total! You would never know to look at it that it is an electric vehicle, it looks like any other Ranger truck, BUT it just passes by every gas station in sight! The transmission is a little funny, just one of its quirks, not bad at all. It is actually a brand newly rebuilt 4 speed manual transmission, but the funny thing is that there is no clutch. Weird, I know, but perfect for this electric truck. You actually shift it like the big semis, you just let off the throttle for 1/2 second for the motor to slow, pop it out of gear and right into the next one, then accelerate again. Its crazy at first, but you get the hang of it really quick :) As I mentioned before, it is a 144 volt battery system, there are 24 batteries, each at 6 volts, so that they could keep the amperage high. The batteries are regularly tested and "watered" although they never need much. As a whole, the truck has around 500 miles driven since the conversion. That means the batteries, motor, controller and everything but the body is nearly new! I have the receipt for the Curtis Controller, it was $1500! My reserve price is way under the cost of all the parts if you bought them separately, and you get the install and the truck for free! Happy Bidding, and I will respond to any questions you have! |

2015 Ford Focus Electric hides in plain sight
Wed, 16 Apr 2014The styling changes to the 2015 Ford Focus were shown off at the recent Geneva Motor Show, so what the EV version looks like is not that much of a surprise. Still, the 2015 Focus Electric is making its world debut here at the New York Auto Show, so we wanted to know what changes we are looking at compared to both the internal combustion engine version and the earlier EV models.
The exterior visual distinctions between the ICE and EV are minimal, and basically nonexistent from the A-pillar to the rear. Up front, you can see the charge port, of course, but the front fascia has also undergone a bit of an adjustment. The front doesn't have the ICE version's flattened grille and the EV's Ford logo creates a bump in the hood line where none exists on the ICE. The 2015's grille is also different than the one on the 2014 Focus Electric, being slightly smaller (you can see this better if you compare pictures in our new gallery above to these of the 2011 Focus Electric and these of the gas-powered 2015 Focus).
The updated 2015 interior - which we couldn't access ourselves - has things like a new center stack, improved cupholders and is basically identical between the gas and electric models. With the car off, you can't even tell if you're in an EV or ICE, Seema Bardwaj, the US brand manager for the Focus, told AutoblogGreen. The only things that are different, she said, are extra menu screens to show EV powertrain information to the driver.
Project Ugly Horse: Part VII
Fri, 12 Apr 2013Devils, Details and Weight Reduction
There are many things I could call this exercise. A party is not one of them.
I've spent three days crammed in the axle well of this 1989 Mustang with nothing to keep me company beyond a trouble light, a DeWalt drill on the very last of its legs and billion razor sharp, red hot slivers of metal with an affinity for my most sensitive of regions. My joints are raw from crawling around on the concrete. I'm half deaf from the shriek of the spot weld cutter and the boom of the cold chisel and hammer.
Ford 3D-printing Mustang out of chocolate and candy for Valentine's Day
Thu, 13 Feb 2014Is your beloved in love with the new 2015 Ford Mustang? Do they like chocolate (that's a trick question - everyone likes chocolate)? Are they a bit of a futurist? Then this Hallmark holiday, you need to get them this Ford Mustang, 3D-printed in sweet, delicious chocolate.
Ford is teaming with 3D Systems' Sugar Lab in LA to produce the super-accurate pony car confections in both chocolate and sugar candy varieties. The process kicked off with a CAD rendering of the 2015 Mustang, which was then programmed into the 3D printer. After a bit of work from the machine, a four-inch long, two-inch tall Mustang was the result. Why the tieup with 3D Systems, though?
"We wanted to create something fun to show that while 3D printing made these edible Mustangs, manufacturing-level 3D printing was used in the development of Ford's all-new sports car," said Paul Susalla, Ford's supervisor of 3D printing.
