New Old EV
Hey folks,

I recently purchased (New to me) a '88 Ford Ranger EV conversion (Old) that I'm trying resurrect.

Wish me luck!

Looks like a really good find! What sort of range/top speed are you after?

Welcome to EM! I always like the truck EV conversions. They're "EV Naturals" to carry the extra weight of the batteries. Skunk Works, Ha ha. A skunk that doesn't smell!
