Electric Ranger Conversion Project

The project, to take a standard Ford ranger and convert to electric vehicle for local use due to the high costs of fuel.
Having already built a electric bicycle and electric ATV, I thought it is time for this project.
I have chosen a 144 volt system with a Netgain Warp-9 motor, Curtis 1231c controller.

Making it all fit


Although it is hard to see, this is a mockup of how the electronics enclosure and batteries will fit under the hood. Very rough at this point, just seeing how things will fit.
This is another shot of the heater core and installed electric elements before securing with high temp caulk.
I used 2 seperate elements for a high low heating setup and in case one element fails, Indiana winters can be a little cool and wanted to have enough heat.
