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.

Controller part 2


The control box is all but done, and systems tested on the bench, a few minor problems but all resolved at this point. I weighed the box while balancing it on a scale, was about 85 pounds.
The vacuum canister is plumbed and mounted. The air shocks have been hooked up and a hardware run was done to get the steel and hardware to mount the bed back on the truck and make a battery rack. While out for hardware, I stopped at Lowes and got some sealtight type covering for my battery cables to protect them under the truck.
Next up installing the controller and starting on the gauges.
