Who Killed The Electric Vehicle Truck? Many Types/Models Of Electric Trucks Are Available Now, No Need To Wait For Toxic Fossil Fuel Monopolies To 'Solve' The Problems, History Of Ford Ranger Electric Vehicle EV Truck
Have you ever wondered why there are no ELECTRIC VEHICLE TRUCKS?
What is the history of the US electric truck vehicle market?
Why were all electric cars and electric trucks shredded and/or recalled between 2002-2004, never to be built again?
Guys love their TRUCKS.
What guy wouldn't love an ELECTRIC truck that would outperform the biggest Hummer or fossil fuel truck side by side?
But if that fact is discovered by all MEN, what would happen to all of those fossil fuel guzzling trucks that are HUGE profit sources for dealer repair shops, fossil fuel companies and the associated industries? We cannot upset the 'status quo', good ol boys network of toxic patriarchal power, racism and control plus profit now, can we?
Global warming is caused by human emissions from the fossil fuel and nuclear industries, as well as from fossil fuel vehicles. There needs to be a rapid transformation of all vehicles from fossil fuels to cleaner fuels such as renewable energy powered electricity, hydrogen fueled vehicles. It is possible to have all vehicles powered by renewable energies.

Of course, the fossil fuel truck market is the MOST lucrative one around for most vehicle companies, so don't expect them to let go of this willingly. Just like with electric cars, these big legacy fossil fuel supporting and enabling corporations will resist until they cannot resist any longer.
But at least one large fossil fuel auto/truck manufacturing company stuck their toe in the water, and then pulled it back out, quickly. They did not destroy all of those electric trucks due to lack of demand for trucks that could be bought, because they NEVER offered them for sale, which is odd. But they confidently declared that no one wanted them, because no one bought them, so they destroyed them all.
That makes about as much sense as raising a herd of cows, and then letting people pet them, before killing them all, and burying them in the field. Of course no one eats beef, and no one would have wanted those cows for their milk anyway, right?

The Ford Ranger EV (Electric Vehicle) is a battery electric vehicle that was produced by Ford. It was produced starting in the 1998 model year through 2002 and is no longer in production. It is built upon a light truck chassis used in the Ford Ranger. A few vehicles with lead-acid batteries were sold, but most units were leased for fleet use. A few persistent and interested private parties were able to obtain leases over a period of three to five years.
All leases were terminated in 2003-04, and the vehicles were recalled.
All leases were terminated in 2003-04, and the vehicles were recalled.
Nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries offered
In California and some limited areas outside of California, a NiMH (nickel-metal hydride) battery version was offered, originally exclusively for lease. Some leased Ford Ranger EVs were sold to lessees, however, so there are some Ford Ranger EVs that have been and may be available for purchase as used.
The NiMH version delivered a true 65-mile (105 km) range at a steady 65 mph (105 km/h) speed on flat highways (normal operation with some reserve; in comparison the lead-acid version which is said to have a range of up to 65 miles (105 km) with hard tires and careful driving. Actual range of the lead-acid Ford Ranger EV is less).
The Ford Ranger EV controller electronics will allow strong acceleration even when in 'E' economy shifter mode. Thus a heavy foot will reduce the EV's range. The above the line cost of this vehicle (before manufacturer discounts and other public agency subsidies) was $52,720.00. Ford Motor Credit supported a generous 3-year lease program that would; along with AQMD (Air Quality Management District) funding and Federal Tax Credits, allow for a RangerEV 3-year lease payment as low as $155. per month.
The Lawrence Livermore/Berkeley Labs In Eco-Friendly Northern California signed on for 20 units from Ford Motor Credit with a total lease cost to the Labs of $0. over the 3-year lease term. Thanks to overwhelming financial support from Government funded Clean Cities programs and AQMD Grants, when applied towards an APP (All Payments Paid) version of the RangerEV commercial lease the resulting lease became Paid In Full.
Early life problems
There were numerous problems with the NiMH Ranger associated with an inability to accept a charge in hot environmental conditions, and some other problems requiring replacement of major components, but Ford successfully addressed these problems early in the vehicle's life cycle.

External appearance
Charge door in grille distinguishes the EV from the front
The principal identifiers of an electric Ranger are the appearance of the front charging door in a grille location that is open on ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) Rangers, the missing tailpipe, and the visibility of the EV's unique rear suspension and the traction motor from behind the vehicle. From the side, the vehicle is almost indistinguishable from the ICE Ranger except for a modest script Electric on the side. Only the slight projection of the battery trays below the frame rails is noticeable at a distance. Vehicle height is close to that of four-wheel drive vehicles.
Instruments
Instrument panel
A miles to go indicator to the left of the speedometer is accurate only when the battery system is performing to specification, otherwise it may mislead the driver. A charge indicator at the lower left is in the place of the normal fuel gauge, but with underperforming batteries, cannot be relied upon owing to its tendency to decline from a full charge to about 3/4 and then drop to empty within a mile or two. Above the state of charge is a rate indicator showing energy usage and recovery.
At the upper right an off-run electric gauge will come up to the run position in a few seconds after Start is commanded by a keyswitch turn. This does not indicate the pack voltage; it is only an indication to the driver that the vehicle is enabled.(has been started). The vehicle's main contacts will not close until the pre-charge is complete.
At the lower right a temperature gauge monitors the liquid coolant temperature.
The usual speedometer and odometer complete the analog portion of the instrument panel.
Various indicator lights are included, one of which indicates that the truck is plugged in for charging. This is interlocked with the start circuit, disabling it if the Avcon paddle is inserted.
Charging
Charging
Charging is through an Avcon conductive connector, provided beneath a hinged door to the right side of the grille. A NiMH pack would take six to eight hours to charge, storing about 30 kW·h, and the charging and discharging is regulated through passive control devices.
The Avcon is the SAE J1772-1998 conductive charging standard. It is possible to use either an adapter or to upgrade the plug on the truck to the new J1772-2010 style charging plugs. The two connectors use an identical signaling and wiring scheme with ground, two hots, proximity and pilot. An adapter or post-upgraded Rangers can then use the newer public charging infrastructure that is being deployed nationwide that utilizes the new J1772 standard.[1]
Controls
Ford attempted to make the driving and operating experience as similar as possible to that experienced in an ICE vehicle with an automatic transmission. A selector operates similar to that for an automatic transmission with the following positions:
Park
Reverse
Neutral
Drive
Economy
The economy position will reduce the maximum speed available, will also reduce the throttle response, and will engage energy recovery, and so is useful for long downgrades and when approaching a stop or for start and stop traffic. Drive is normally used only for freeway use.
A conventional switch arrangement is used to provide key inserted detection at Off, Accessory, Run, and Start.
Other controls are identical to that of the ICE version.
The heating system uses a ceramic core resistance heater. Air conditioning is provided with an electric-motor driven compressor-condenser-evaporator system.
Chassis
The Ford Ranger EV was built upon a Ford Ranger four-wheel drive chassis.
Battery trays
Batteries are contained in one big battery box that is bolted to the underside of the vehicle. It can be removed using specialized shop equipment. Individual batteries are then serviced and replaced from the open top of the module. The battery layout inside the box is not the same for the Lead-Acid and NiMH battery type. The Lead-Acid setup is using 39 x 8V batteries setup on two layers. The NiMH setup is using 25 x 12V batteries on one layer. The Lead-Acid setup has a weight of 2,000 lb (907 kg). As for the NiMH setup, it only weighs 1,050 lb (476 kg).
Battery heating
The lead-acid batteries are sensitive to temperature, losing a substantial portion of capacity in winter conditions. When plugged in for charge the battery temperature is sensed and battery heaters used to maintain temperature sufficient to retain specified range - a necessity for colder climate fleet use, where vehicles are usually parked outdoors.
This would suggest that to enhance the economy of use in such climates that the vehicle should be sheltered. NiMH batteries do not have this temperature sensitivity; however, models with NiMH batteries do have a loss in range in cold temperatures, perhaps because of greater rolling resistance in the drive train and tires. NiMH pack consists of 25 Panasonic EV-M95, 12.00 Volt, Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries. NiMH pack voltage range Empty 280Vdc - Full 350Vdc.
Battery cooling
The ability to charge NiMH batteries is limited by heat gain, so these batteries are air-cooled by two fans. The first fan is circulating the air around the batteries. The second fan is exchanging the air inside the battery box.
Front suspension
Dual A arm with torsion bar suspension, since 4wd frames are used for the Ford Ranger EV
Rear suspension
The rear suspension consists of a De Dion tube that located the wheels and which was sprung by the usual longitudinal leaf springs. The first year of production (1998) used lightweight carbon fiber monolithic leaf springs which had insufficient lateral stiffness to provide lateral location of the suspension; these early versions also featured a Watt's linkage. Later versions used conventional steel leaf springs and did not have the Watt's linkage.
In the 1998 model, carbon fiber leaf springs support a DeDion tube located by a Watt's linkage, motor/transmission is attached to chassis. Later versions have similar appearance but without the linkage
Driveline
Siemens AC induction motor
The rear wheels are powered by a six pole alternating current motor operating through a (single speed) three to one reduction transmission and differential. The motor can produce 60 hp (45 kW) and can operate at a maximum speed of 13,000 rpm. The motor, transmission, and differential are contained in a single unit mounted high between the frame rails, transversely between the rear wheels. Half shafts angle downward to drive the wheels.
Tires and wheels
All wheels including the spare are made of cast aluminum. Tires are low rolling resistance, similar to what would be found on a full-size sedan, rather than on a truck. 1998 and 1999 wheels were of the same, simple design. Later models had wheels of a large 'spoke' design.
Component layout
Under the hood
The front underhood compartment contains the charger, an electric air conditioner, the power steering mechanism, the power brake unit (otherwise conventional), a radiator for the air conditioner, and a vacuum pump and reservoir for the power brakes and a reservoir for the windshield washer. Charger and battery liquid cooling service is performed here but is not an owner-operator service item.
Power controller under bed at rear
To the rear of the rear axle (the usual location for the spare tire) is the AC motor controller. The spare tire could be carried at a station within the truck bed. The spare tire is poorly located within the bed relative to its inefficient use of bed space. Many operators simply did not carry the spare.
Bed cover
In the interest of improved aerodynamics the bed is covered by a snap on cover supported by aluminum bows. Snap receivers slide within aluminum channels. A rear bow allows the tailgate to be opened without removing the cover. The cover can be quite difficult to re-snap under cold conditions due to shrinkage and stiffness of the vinyl material. As the bed was a carryover from the standard Ford Ranger body, some owners opted for after-market tonneau covers, such as hard fiberglass or roll-top.
Charger, battery, and motor controller thermal management
The power electronics such as the motor, motor controller, AC motor controller, and high voltage DCDC converter are liquid-cooled. The batteries and battery charger are air-cooled.
Energy recovery
Cab view
On a very long downhill run one could obtain a noticeably higher state of charge than at the top (3,000 ft (910 m) elevation difference), so the energy recovery was demonstrably effective.
Economy
Power consumption for light duty suburban use is around 500 watt-hours per mile, both by the EPA figures for early models and by some owners' experience.
Controversy and lottery
It was expected that Ford, like other companies, would completely destroy almost all remaining stocks by crushing, as has been done by several other major vehicle manufacturers. This plan engendered considerable resistances from electric vehicle fans, with the adverse publicity prompting a change in Ford's policy.
This change of policy appears to have also influenced Toyota not to destroy all of its leased RAV-4 electrics. Also a persistent few of Ford's lease return resistors (some of whom were actually allowed to buy the vehicle under terms of their lease arrangements by the dealer's use of a non-specific lease form) were allowed to purchase their vehicles for one dollar.
While most of the 1,500 vehicles produced have been destroyed, a number of Ranger EVs have been parted out for spares and the remaining several hundred units have been refurbished (using selected used and new old stock batteries) and other salvage components (both with lead-acid and NiMH batteries) by a third party company (Blue Sky Motors of Sacramento, California).
Features
The Ranger EV was essentially a Ford Ranger XL 4X2 Regular Cab featuring an electric vehiclepowertrain instead of the Ranger XL's standard I4 engine. The only difference between a Ranger XL and a Ranger EV was that the Ranger EV had no engine, so the tachometer that was on the Ranger XL was replaced by a battery range gauge on the Ranger EV.
Other than this minor difference, the Ranger EV included the standard features that the Ranger XL 4X2 Regular Cab included as standard: an AM and FM radio, two speakers, fifteen-inch steelwheels, a bench seat or bucket seats trimmed in vinyl, air conditioning and a heater, an automatic transmission, two SRS airbags, seating for either two or three passengers, a passenger airbag on/off switch activated by the vehicle's ignition and door key, and vinyl flooring.
Additional options, such as fifteen-inch alloy wheels, a spare tire, a cassette and/or CD player, two additional speakersbehind the front seats, and power windows and door locks, and keyless entry were also available for all Ranger EV's. All Ranger EV's were painted in Ford's standard Oxford WhiteClear Coat with a Flint Gray interior.
Future
Ford has announced no plans to resume production of this model. The Ford Ranger was discontinued for the United States market after the 2011 model year, however, the truck was redesigned for European markets.
Ford, however, has an outside source provide an electric vehicle version of its popular Ford Transit Connect cargo van for the United States market only. Specifications on the Ford Transit Connect EV are almost identical to that of the Ford Ranger EV's specifications. Ford would later release an all-electric version of the Focus for the 2012 model year.
Availability Nordic countries
Several Ford Ranger EV's were "rescued" in 2008 and transported to Norway, where a company named Elbil Import sells them to end users.

Rivian, a new Michigan-based EV startup, has just debuted their R1T all-electric truck at the Los Angeles Auto Show. It’s quite an impressive truck, with a 400-mile range, four 200-horsepower electric motors, 11,000 pound towing capacity, 160 kW fast charger that promises 200 miles of range in 30 minutes, and space for five passengers all in a $69,000 price tag. Perhaps more impressively, Rivian already has a production facility in Normal, Illinois ready to start churning out these high-end pickups. Rivian recently secured a $200 million loan that allowed them to take over a former Mitsubishi manufacturing plant, and Rivian expects to employ over 1,000 Americans at this new plant. Unlike other EV startups, Rivian is ready to bring a functional product to market, and, perhaps most importantly, will be the first to market with an electric light duty non-commercial truck.

VIRTUOUS CIRCLE AND NEED TO SWITCH TO CARBON FREE FUEL SOURCES IN TRUCKS AND DELIVERY VEHICLES
UNION OF CONCERNED SCIENTISTS ON ELECTRIC TRUCKS
"In this process, there is an important “virtuous circle” we can benefit from: the more we produce and use these vehicles, the better and cheaper they will become.Governments have a critical role to play to help the truck manufacturing industry and truck purchasers/operators to get onto that circle. This can be done, for example, with price incentives to produce and purchase these technologies, perhaps starting with the applications that make the most sense.
Overall the outlook is bright for moving to very low emissions trucking in the U.S. We have several ways to do it and we are getting some initial experience in some “pioneer” applications. But we have to take up the challenge to move this along faster, and create a sense of urgency that may be lacking today on many fronts. 2050 is just around the corner…
FIGURE OUT WHAT THE STATE AND FEDERAL TAX INCENTIVES ARE, AND YOUR ELECTRIC VEHICLE MAY TURN OUT TO BE FREE, THEN COMPARE FUEL COSTS AND YOU WILL BE SHOCKED AT HOW LOW THE PRICE IS PER MILE FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES, INCLUDING EV TRUCKS
I reported yesterday that price was one of the "Seven Barriers to the Electric Car." Indeed it is, but some states are trying to reduce the economic hurt by offering consumers electric subsidies - in the form of either tax breaks or straight rebates. The most generous subsidy to date is probably Oklahoma's, where buyers can get a tax credit worth 50 percent of the purchase price of an electric vehicle (EV). Some savvy consumers combined the state break with an equally useful one from the federal government to buy electric golf carts and relatively low-cost neighborhood electric vehicles (NEVs), which are cars that can't go on the highways. Roger Gaddis, who owns Ada Electric Cars in Oklahoma, did the math on an $8,000 vehicle. "The state credit is 50 percent--that's $4,000," Gaddis said. "The federal credit on that particular car is $4,400, which makes the car free. Is that about the coolest thing you've ever heard?"
Of course, the same dynamic may apply when it comes to electric trucks. Check it out.

Bottom line, America had a mass produced high volume electric vehicle truck that worked well, and it was scrapped, never to be built again. Why? Any new vehicle that involves huge change will have a few bugs to work out, so that is not a reason to shred all of them. There would be NO new cars if that were the policy with any new car. Got a problem with them? Just recall all of them and shred them. When is that EVER done? NEVER! It was never done and is not done with anything except with electric cars and trucks around 2002-2004.
Most of these electric vehicles were shredded after their lease period expired, which is a great way to make sure no one every shows interest in electric vehicles again. After the 'great shredding' was done, oil companies were happy, the nuclear companies where happy and the 1 percent who controlled the status quo were happy.

Magnetic acceleration four-piston motor by Engineer Refaat Hmam
VIDEO: https://youtu.be/Y2lgBJOeGpw 1 min.
Magnetic acceleration of a four-piston motor. Magnetically propelled engine with magnetic field reduction
haitham ainu Abstract
An engine powering device with magnetic components that aid in the operation of piston propelled engines by attaching the device individually to the pistons, causing the pistons to perform the up and down thrusts without the use of fuel combustion thereby mobilizing the engine, eliminating the necessity of fuel and preventing pollution exhausting into the atmosphere.
An exemplary system for a magnetically controlled propelled engine that uses exhausted clean air from the engine that flows through an electric generating turbo or turbine to charge the battery to power the engine.
Passenger compartment comfort heating is supplied by and electric liquid boiler or liquid heater with a circulation pump. A fuel door mounted universal electrical connector to aid in charging engine battery. This engine has magnetic shielding safety components to protect people and other electronic devices from strong rare earth magnets and electromagnets.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Most piston powered engines are spoken of as four-cycle engines. This is a shortening of the correct name, four-stroke cycle. A stroke is one complete down or one complete up movement of the piston. There are two down strokes and two upstrokes to a cycle for the internal combustion engine of this design. A cycle is a round of events, which occurs in a certain fixed order. There are four events in this engine cycle. These four events correspond to the four strokes. Thus we have the name, the four-stroke cycle, or the shortened and more used term, the four-cycle engine.
On the first stroke of any cycle within an engine, the first event or operation is the drawing in of air and fuel through the carburetor. This occurs on the down stroke of the piston. The second operation is compressing or squeezing together of the fuel charge drawn in on the first down stroke. The compressing of the fuel occurs on the first upstroke of the piston. The fuel is fired at the end of this stroke, and the third event or operation is under way. The piston is forced downward on the second down stroke.
On the second upstroke, it drives the burned gases before it, and they pass out of the cylinder. The order, then, of the four strokes of the cycle is this: First down stroke, intake; first upstroke, compression; second down stroke, power; second upstroke, exhaust. The cycles occur as follows: Intake, compression, power, exhaust, again and again. Pistons are moved up and down on the strokes by the crankshaft throw.
Each revolution of the crankshaft gives two strokes of the piston. For four strokes (two down, two up) the crankshaft must turn twice. The flywheel, attached as it is to the crankshaft, turns through two complete revolutions for each four strokes of the piston.
This magnetically propelled engine magnetically moves the engine's piston(s) in both upward and downward directions creating power throughout the entire range of piston travel, in such a manner to apply constant torque to the engine crank shaft.
Unlike a standard 4 cycle internal combustion engine that needs 2 full revolutions to create power on one downward power stroke. This invention creates power the entire length of a piston stroke on every downward and upward stroke of a piston on every revolution. While also having a simple design with less moving parts than an internal combustion engine and runs on electrical power that doesn't require any fuel to run the magnetically powered engine.
With the ability to run off of a rechargeable battery(s) and be recharged at home, work or anywhere an outlet may be convenient. The only emission is air from the magnetically propelled engine. It will not emit pollutants into the environment, like the internal combustion engine with the ever tightening pollution restrictions.
This air can be used to drive an electric generating turbine or turbo, to create electrical power for the engine to run, and for charging the battery(s). The elimination of combustion also eliminates the extreme heat created from the internal combustion engine and can eliminate the need for a liquid cooling system.
The elimination of emissions prevents harsh chemical contaminate residue left behind after combustion from entering the oil that eventually reduces engine oil life. This will give the ability to go longer between oil changes increasing oil life. Cooler operation of my type of engine and longer life between oil changes without the harsh chemical residue, can significantly increase the engine(s) overall life.
