Not mine. It was posted on EM's sister site EcoRenovator originally and thought some here might have some interest. I never even knew these were made...

Wow....super cool...and rare. I believe they were a converted Subaru 600 Kei van by Jet Industries.
I dug this up from the EVDL list: Quote:

Cool!

I use to work for Baker Equipment who made the ev postal vans in y2k under the Clinton admisistration. The economy budget cuts kill it. I think like 2000 vans were made/converted at the peak. :eek:

I've sat in that van that is for sale, it's pretty nice, it's starting to show some signs of it's age, little rips here and there but is over all a really nice little van!
I'm 6' tall and I like to sit very upright while driving, this van does have a roof rib that the top of my head hits, if you were shorter or were used to sitting more reclined while driving it might not be an issue for you, but for me it would be annoying. If I was looking for another electric car I'd buy it, $5,000 is a decent price for something that is ready to drive home. |
This deserves a bump. Very interesting indeed.

I always liked these small Japanese forward-control minivans. A few years ago I was even considering to make a replica of the 1st version of the Subaru minivan, and still have the willing to do so...

The only problem with them is that if you ever crash it, you are DEAD. Immediately.

I still regret getting outbid on an Electravan at a towing yard auction in Oregon last year. Drove across the auction block, sold for $1500. I was so broke I couldn't afford to pay attention at the time, but I ran it up to $1450 anyway. Oh well, at least I tried lol :snail:

I've seen this van driving around town, looks pretty solid from what I could tell from 20 feet away in traffic.
