eBay Find of the Day: 2000 Ford Ranger EV - Gas 2.0

Back in the late 90’s, California demanded that any automaker that wished to sell cars in the Golden State had to offer alternative fuel vehicles, including electric car s. The most famous of these is GM’s EV1, but Toyota, Mitsubishi, and Ford all... Ford partnered with Siemens , who built approximately 1,500 all-electric Ranger pickups between 1998 and 2002. Most of these vehicles were leased, rather than sold, and almost all of these electric Rangers were crushed by Ford once the leases came... Cost estimates placed Ford’s price at around $100,000 per truck , though the above-the-line price (before incentives or tax credits) was about $52,000. The leases allowed people to pay as little as $155 a month for the Ranger electric. Source: gas2.org
