1981 Electric Commuter Vehicle made in Florida, or the US Postal Department 1971-1981 – only 231 made and roughly 14 are known to exist of the postal model. Two were purchased to build this one, hen the other one was destroyed (have paperwork). It is my understanding that this is the first generation of specifically built mail truck / vans.

It has been upgraded to a state-of-the-art electric vehicle with new parts like Solution #1 Jr. 300 kW DC motor controller. Water cooled. Has an Evenetics controller interface. It has a range of about 40 miles at 34-40 mph.

The entire chassis has been rewired with a new Pro-T wiring system kit. All-turn signals, stop, arking and back-up lights changed to super bright LED lights with 12 volts system and charger. Headlights are halogen type.

The cassis is aluminum, he body is plastic and the rear axle is manufactured by Dana and has 5:13 gears. The car is very light ( about 900 lbs) and rather quick.

As seen in the photos there is a small tear in the front fender. I was quoted $200 to repair it by a local body shop but i have no need to fix it. Alsothe original heater in the car is kerosene and I have never tried to use it. I do not know if it works, tdocent get cold here so I have never had a need to try it. Other than those items its ready to go.I have literature about the car and the company to fill you in on its history.

A blast to drive, nd turns heads all day long. We take thedogs in the back and they love to go for rides. Would be great for promotion of your business especially a solar or electrical contractor company etc.
