There's a reason why you don't see electric lorries or petrol ones for that matter.

Electric isn't yet advanced enough for anything heavier than a car, that's why anything bigger than a medium SUV and above is generally diesel. If they are going to cripple cities by penalising and perhaps eventually banning? (Paris, Madrid, Rome & one other I forget) are all considering this.

There better be one hell of a good electric tram/freight infrastructure in place so that businesses can get supplies etc.

Maybe we'll just make anything bigger than a village housing only and see how well that works out for us all.

We had this in Leeds just over 6 years ago:
