Its really the range of miles that stops them been of use at the mo, Nissan do a little eletric van, ND200, I've seen kicking around when I'm down in Newcastle but for me its 80 + return trip just to get to CTD, factor in a few other stops and your easily beyond 100 miles, so how would the electric vehicle get on with its weight and then the return in mileage from the weight. I also wonder what the impact will be on the cost of diesel/petrol when the electric car becomes more common and reduces the amount of fuel used, surely the cost of petrol will go quickly, hitting the van/truck drivers hard.
