Especially the range. All it takes to add range to an ICE vehicle is a bigger fuel tank, but it says nothing about efficiency.

That's right, and it's not about efficiency. As I thought is apparent from what I wrote. So again: it's not POSSIBLE in the TIME we got to LOAD a vehicle in the middle of a WORKDAY when we have to go to a customer. Why not? Because, at least the last time I checked, we don't print money. One last time: it is not COST efficient. It WOULD be with a larger capacity. No, we're not poor but I rather pay my folks here more than pay for loading time.
