    No, I’m not looking for one of those f-ed up American monster trucks. I need a car that is capable of transporting people and materials in varying amounts. Look up “Seat Alhambra” to see what I need. Up to seven seats, or two cubic meters of cargo. And a tow hook.

    The shoeboxes simply don’t cut it for my case.

      You are using a derogatory term for cars that are great choices for many. Even if those cars are not suitable for your requirements it just puts you in a certain light.

      There are indeed not a lot of MPV EVs on offer, I guess, car producers really want to push people into more profitable, less useful SUVs instead. But then VW has been killing the Sharan also among ICE vehicles. So this isn’t even an EV problem.

      The best best for your requirement is maybe still the Toyota Proace City Verso L2 50 kWh. AT 40000 EUR it is also somewhat reasonably priced for a van with 5-7 seats. It has a central screen but it is rather conservative as far as modern cars go. Yes, it is a full Van rather than a compact Van but like I said, producers really don’t want to produce those anymore.

        There is also a van from Mercedes that would fit my parameters, but it has Mercedes prices…
