FOR SALE - 1998 Ford Ranger EV

Factory built as Electric Vehicle, not a conversion. For sale in the Sacramento, CA area (95624).

Purchased in 2005. Battery pack was rebuilt that summer by local company and stayed lead-acid. Car was running when it was parked in the garage in 2007. 20,427 miles. 220v DS-50 Power Control Station (PCS) included. Clean and clear California title. White HOV stickers

Approximately 1500 of these were produced from 1998 to 2001. Unfortunately most of these trucks were crushed after their leases expired. It is now estimated that fewer than 200 Ranger EVs remain. These trucks are highly sought after and very rare, so don't wait long - Or you will miss the chance to own this amazing vehicle and piece of history.

Consider the cost of the individual parts... the motor, controller, changer, PCS, etc.
