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.

controlling it all


7-8-09 Spent the better part of the day making brackets and fitting the controller box in the engine bay. I also made the mounts for the vacuum canister.
7-9-09 I worked on the schematics for the truck and figuring out where to mount all the relays and contactors in the box. It took a great deal of time making brackets for the pumps, and all the relays. The remaining item is mounting the controller to the heatsink and mounting to the top of the controller and wiring up all the parts.
