I have just been to #EverythingElectric in Melbourne #naarm.
Lots of new EV sedans and small SUV's. Not so much with the commercial vehicles. BYD shark (kinda EV), Renault eKangoo and possibly Traffic?, Farizon SV (supervan for some reason). All had a reasonable range, carrying capacity and power available on the cargo area.
VW ID buzz cargo no power in the cargo space, and $20k more than the competition.

Still no actual work utes, no cab chassis variants, no single cab version.

If there aren't the commercial varieties available how can businesses make the purchase. Get a BYD shark and then spend another $20k to modify it so you can start to build a useful work vehicle.

It looks like for now the vans and heavy trucks have the lead when it comes to commercial vehicles.

The prices are still quite high compared to smaller passenger vehicles, that have had significant price drops in the last 12 months.
This all makes the decision harder.

Maybe I'll just wait a bit longer.

@Blacksmithoz Kia PV5 isn't too far away. Tradie and passenger variants.
@WhombeX it would have been a great addition to the displays, but not yet. They are supposed to be released in late 2025, it's running out fast.
@Blacksmithoz yeah a surprise they couldn’t even get a year old display concept out for the show. It seems like a flexible platform which will bode well. Utility, passenger van, delivery van, camper.. https://www.carscoops.com/tag/kia-pv5/
