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.

Control box


I managed to work in some time to work on the truck, I trimmed the plastic shield that will protect the motor from rocks and water and got it installed. I also fabricated the panel that covers the radiator opening and mounted it in place.
I wrestled the 85# control box into the engine bay and bolted it in place.
I connected the throttle linkage and checked operation. I also ran some of the wiring to the control box.
