I thought category B drivers can drive petrol/diesel vans up to 3.5T and electric vans up to 4.5T.
The idea is to allow up to 1T of battery weight for the same load carrying capacity. Potentially, electric vans can carry up to a tonne more if your battery pack weighs less than a tonne.
Have I got it wrong?
The problem is that the very popular large vans like Renault Master and Mercedes Sprinter become too heavy when you fit a battery to them, so they come under HGV class. Now, you have to MOT them after one year, not three, and you can't find an MOT station qualified to do the MOT on them.

Nobody was buying them , anyway, so the dealers pre-registered them to meet their EV targets. Now they have them in stock one year old, and nobody can buy them because you can't legally use them. You can only drive one direct to an MOT station then home. If you want one for your Woosh business, you can buy them brand new with a 70% discount!

The vindictive lunatic goes further -

Trump imposes sanctions on officials at the International Criminal Court.

For anybody, who has an electric car, these are a very useful accessory. They can be installed in the boot, under the vehicle or on a towball rack. there are other options if you need higher voltage:

If your concience won't allow the use of an IC engine, there's another choice:

This response is a classic example of what is called 'deflection'.

Deflection is a tactic used in arguments to avoid criticism or blame by shifting the focus to another person or issue. It's a psychological defence mechanism that people use to protect themselves from uncomfortable challenges.
1. It is entirely irrelevant
2. I supplied both left and right wing references to Trump's action
3. It has no relevance to the matter raised

You might have as well asked, 'Do you beat your wife?'


Maybe this link is one you might actually consider opening:

Can you point me at your source for the deflection definition? Could be useful in a situation I'm involved in.
