electric powered car or van

have started to look around for an electric powered car or small van as a city/transport runabout - any ideas???

needs to be able to carry 2 people (4 ideally) and have a reasonable distance limit on a full charge. as i also run a property business something that can be used to lug small items of furniture around would be useful.

where do i start looking??? - is a Gwhizz the only option?

here's a couple i found as some friends earlier had been talking about going electric.

British electric car and van manufacturer

DRAGON ELECTRIC VEHICLES - ELECTRIC CAR AND VAN SALES AND CONVERSIONS - 01 874 730 320

or a really expensive bike

Optibike - High Performance Electric Bikes, Finest Electrical Motorized Bike, Fastest Electric Powered Bicycle

Will it go over a hump?

Or don't you have such supremely useful additions to life in Falkirk? Cobbles, maybe?

yep - a really hefty price - thats the problem with electric cars/bikes, - they've not just not dropped to a price point that makes people really interested in them as an alternative to combustion.
