The EV Swapped Ranger runs Tesla Model S battery modules, split between the engine compartment and under the tilting bed, which provides easy maintenance access. This arrangement also preserves the utility of the truck bed, giving the truck a stealth look and around 125 miles of range.
An AC-51 motor from HPEVS bolts via an adaptor plate to the standard clutch, four-speed transmission, driveshaft, and rear end. The absence of power brakes or steering means these components are unchanged, too. The traction-pack battery charger is from Thunderstruck Motors and uses a standard J1772 port to plug in.
