I can’t find one. 4wd, auto, 5 seats, load area, tow bar. Something that can do the school run in the morning, then get across farm tracks towing the diesel bowser and carrying tools etc to service the combine. Longest journey it would ever do is 150 miles in a day but that would be rare so battery isn’t the priority. The priority is fuel saving and tax efficiency.
Which electric farm vehicle?

One of these?
Other than that, no.

Although still a bit pricey, a second hand Tesla Model X would do well in a few years when the prices have dropped a bit further.

The battery will quickly become a priority when you are towing off road.

An electric quad would be great for rabbit shooting. The engine noise of my Honda is well known to the local rabbits and they take appropriate evasive action.
But something that runs on methane would make more sense.
Those requiring horses, please apply by PM.

This should get you sorted. Maybe a bit too quick and pricey 
To see it driving go to about 8 mins in. Only go pro footage
Tyres look the same as my Manitou

There quite expensive... but a couple Jerry cans of fuel doesn’t last long with a Honda either

You'll pay 9k€ for a 420 Honda, so the electric option doesn't seem that expensive to me. But the second hand value is a mystery.
Segway is going to start making hybrid quads. Might be of interest to some (definitely for me).

No alternative but diesel and petrol to be illegal in 15 years? Surely this can't include commercials.

Of course there is an alternative, synthetic fuels from other sources such as food waste, plastic, bio mass etc. That's whats happening in California where companies are running their fleets on these non fossil fuels and there are signs of the great EV push faltering. But hush, we aint meant to be talkng about these things, too much money invested in backward battery power!
