I met a guy in Mesa that had an electric pickup truck in 2001 or 2002. It is pretty much the same thing I am trying to build, but possibly using different batteries. You may need to use the lead-acid ones to get better range, where I need better durability and cold weather capability.
It was about 10 years ago, but I think I remember that the Arizona Mills mall had charging stations for the EV1. But, they have probably taken those out.
How is the traffic in Phoenix now? Are people leaving due to the housing bubble?
Even though there are a lot of old S-10s out there, I have found one for $500. Now to figure out how much it would cost and if I want to do this project now or wait until the fall as intended.
