About

This 1981 Ford Escort three-door hatchback is a non-running project that was modified with an electric motor and batteries by Electric Vehicle Associates of Cleveland, Ohio, and it was reportedly used by the Indianapolis Power and Light Company (IPL) as a service vehicle for meter readers in a pilot program that ran between 1981 and 1982. The seller purchased the car in 2026 from its previous owner of 36 years.
