Status: owned by University of Wisconsin MadisonAccording to a 2006 article on the University of Wisconsin Madison’s EV1, members of that campus’s hybrid car team decided to get the car running in September 2004, replacing the removed battery pack with NiMH batteries from an electric Ranger that Ford donated to the school, then installing a Ballard Power Systems Integrated Powertrain in place of the original motor and controller. As seen in the video above, it was running and driving on private property in 2010 or so.
