I agree. After getting my Berlingo and realising what fun I have missed, I sent an email out at work and several people where interested in seeing it. When I let them have a go they where really surprised at how responsive it was, etc. So I would suggest that (if you have an EV with good batteries) ...

Installation costs will be needed as part of the business case. Does anyone have any idea how much this is likely to cost or have completed a similar project...
