You're right about electrics not being suitable for the trades and recreation yet but for patching a fence, hauling in a small harvest for a farmstand/market, general repairs, watering animals, driving to irrigation pumps, dropping salt licks, and a hundred other little tasks usually filled by UTV's and the like are all within the capabilities of these cheap little electric trucks.

I think they're a good fit on a farm as your often going places to do work outside in set area of land.

For less than the cost of a low end John Deere Gator you could have one with it's own off grid charging station.

For heavier stuff there's the tractor and for tractors I kind of like the new holland methane powered T6's as a concept. I know the waste products are CO2 and water but well methane comes with agricultural production and is worse as a greenhouse gas so removing that could be a net positive but I could be wrong.
