It's hard to believe but it is over a year now since I bought the 1987 Ford Ranger in South Carolina and took it to Rhode Island to convert it to an electric vehicle. We had it running last fall but didn't do much with it over the winter. It is up and running now( registered and inspected) in Rhode Island at my brother's house. He has been driving it to work.

We ended up putting a new master cylinder and vacuum booster as well as adding a vacuum reservoir to get it to pass inspection.

Welcome to this forum! That's great! I would like to see a thread on converting one.

Do you have any numbers? top speed? acceleration? Cruising range?

Very interesting!

There is a website called WWW.EVParts.Com which sells many parts for this kind of conversion. How much do you estimate this cost? Did you use the Advance brand motor? Do you have regenerative braking? What kind of batteries do you have?

None of the pics worked for me :( Im with Jt what kind of # do you get out of it.

Wow wow wow!!! I'm loving that conversion! Very neat!
