If you know you will only be doing local stuff I would say an electric van would be a great option,it’s just not possible for most of us to even consider due to the range that’s available at the moment.
I watched a YouTube video of a plumber that went from Kent to London each day working I think it was a Toyota medium style van fully electric,it had a range of roughly 170-180 miles and he really struggled to get there and back each day due to the range not being accurate at all if he had the heater on first thing or a blast of air con.
I can go miles and miles without seeing charging points in the South East.
