So if I buy a new all electric ute (that's what we call them in Australia: a utility vehicle or 'ute' for short), put a 1000kg load in it the back, then attached my 1500kg tool trailer, and drive up and down the hilly Tasmanian terrain... How much range am I going to get? That's the one factor that will keep the turbo diesel engine in utility and commercial vehicles for longer.

Not claiming otherwise, but I'd be interested to know what a normal days mileage looks like for you?

Electric trucks make MORE sense in hilly regions due to regen braking making a much bigger difference than flat regions and due to the lack of brake wear.
