Do many owners use their electric cars for business purposes? If so, how are they used? We own a G-Wiz and are based in Reading - about 35 miles west of London and - previous to our purchase, a G-Wiz free zone.

But what about a C5 with a trailer? That sounds like a good idea... I used to deliver electric bikes around my locality with a custom built trailer on the back of an electric bike. I could get two or three electric bikes onto the trailer depending on the sort of bike. The towing bike was an Urban Mo...

I've seen Enfield electric cars occasionally appear in classic car magazines, but either the BVS magazine or eBay seems to be the main places they appear. Prices vary so much, depending on condition.
