Quietly Changing The World: 2012 Navistar eStar

In 2012 Navistar (in cooperation with UK based Modec) started producing an all-electric van from their Wakarusa, Indiana manufacturing plant called the eStar.  Modec was sort of the Tesla of the British trucking industry, and it started with electric taxicabs and later transitioned to building electric inner city delivery trucks before being forced into administration (that's British for bankruptcy) in 2011.  Navistar fed on that rotting corpse like a hyena in heat and the fruit of that meal is this eclectic electric box on wheels.  Find this 2012 Navistar eStar here on eBay bidding for $7,877 reserve-not-met with a few hours to go.
