alt Hacker NewsThey're already at the kind of range I'd be happy to trade off the other way.
I don't need 400 mile ranges; I'm happy to half that to get a shorter front so I can see the corners, a squared off hatch at the back, and proper headroom. Basically give me a smaller Transit van.

Have I got an E-transit for you: https://www.autotrader.co.uk/van-details/202512088451612
There's also the Kia PV5, and if you're fabulously wealthy the ID Buzz.

I did the math once how much range you'd get with a converted EV Land Cruiser 80. [0]
In my calculation it was around 100 miles range tops due to battery weight, aerodynamics, unoptimized drivetrain, etc.

Unfortunately people are convinced that they would rather spend 10 minutes a week at a gas station rather than have to do one 30 minute charge on a road trip once a year.
