Again, second hand info (but very close second hand) .... my Nephew tried a trial of EV small vans for work ... it looked do-able on paper but when they had them on test, by the time you'd put two burly plant-mechanics and their personal toolboxes in them the range just crashed to the point that even reasonably local jobs were off the table.
TBM ... it would be fun to compile a list of vehicles that were:
A .... made in high numbers (to make ongoing spares support worthwhile)
B ... had decent corrosion resistance
C ..... low or no excessive electronics
D .... economical on fuel
They'd be the ones to have as a keeper .... for me it's my galvanised chassis 300tdi Defender taking into account my local/offroad/towing/snow use .... but a compact economical Diesel car for nipping South would be useful .... and diesel is likely to be the ice fuel that hangs on longest for the tradesman purposes mentioned above.
