I bought two of these vans a year ago after they sat in storage at Vanderberg Air Force base for several years (they cancelled their ev program after the war started). For this one, I put on new tires, a refurbished battery pack from Battery MD, and needed a heat sensor repair for the battery pack's cooling system. Other than that, it runs like a dream. We just drove it in the local 4th of July parade. I drive it to work daily, pick up my kids at school, and sometimes my husband drives it to his work in SF (10 mile freeway drive and back). We usually only need to recharge it every 4 days or so.

Approx 7,700 miles on it. For sale: $45,000
