Since most folks aim for 300 miles or 500 km as a more or less desirable daily travel target, I don't think that would sell many vehicles. With the unreliability of of maximum range claims from manufacturers I think they'd have to up that to at least 400 or 450 miles or 700-750 km to be sellable.
Yah. Not everyone travels the same. For us those kinda ranges would be a waste as we stop pretty often, walk the dog, make a coffee etc. But I know some people like to go for hours at a time. Too each his own. I'm guessing that with the shorter distances in Europe they would be good candidates for van based EV RV's. Their charging infrastructure is also more developed although the campgrounds have less robust power hookups.
There are some interesting new battery techs out there that although are probably a decade out will probably benefit the EV RV industry. Other than B Class van based RV's I think it will be 6 or 7 years before we see bigger EV RV rigs. Having said that, BEV city busses are getting common place especially in China.
Coming back to the original topic. I would think a EV service truck would find a market.
