At the moment I would agree but it won't be long before electric is only real option. The gov are looking at per mile pricing to cover their cash cow that is petrol and diesel. I have seen ridiculous per mile fees quoted like 75p a mile which is mental and way way in excess of the loss of duty and vat on fuel. I guess so the shock of pay per mile wont be bad when gov say it's 'only' 30p a mile. Then they will jack up the duty on petrol and diesel to drive them off the road.I'll stick with my dirty diesel
No idea how generators will get on or how to bolt a tank in with a huge battery under the load area....
Not to mention the second hand market and battery life long term.
It's all going to be a mess for people who need to carry decent loads over long distance even occasionally.
I did think about an en200 while it would be fine for 90% of the time the other 10% of the time I would have to hire a car. That's not too bad till yo realise they cost almost twice as much as a diesel version. The savings aren't big enough to justify the costs let alone the restricted range and questionable battery life.
