That noise thing is why I like the little Suzuki and Isuzu 'farmworker' type trucks so much. Much quiter nicer and a better heater plus standard automotive type bits fit...
A lot of outfits are thinking of going to electric vehicles as replacements for yard trucks etc, but it's a bit of a hard question with costs. By the time you sort charging infrastructure and the mandatory H&S BS that you need to do to cover your arse now, you can outright buy 3 or 4 petrol vehicles for the cost of the first electric.
