Yep. And according to Wikipedia, it delivered 75 miles of range at 60mph on 26kWh NiMH battery. With 52kWh of today's batteries a vehicle in that format could easily do 150 miles (plenty for a work truck). You wouldn't be able sell it for $50k+ though.

150mi of range assumes nothing in it, no towing, etc. Not nearly enough. Also, that would assume the 52kWh of battery weighs the same. Maybe it does, but if it doesn’t then that may increase weight and decrease range.

Nobody wants 150mj range cars anymore because they suck for day to day use. 20-80% means you’re realistically getting 60% of that range usable. You better plug them in every single day otherwise you might have trouble.

At the time those were referred to internally as the Ranger Glider, which was a name I always kind of liked. I recall many of them going to Mexico at the time, I think as part of a government program.
