Electric could work: check the points below

Towing. Braked towing: 750kg electric, 1,000kg diesel.
Energy. Charging at a small-business depot costs about 10p a mile against 14.7p for diesel: roughly £1,175 a year less at 25,000 miles.

Toyota UK, retrieved 5 October 2026. Supports: load length (at floor). Official toyota.co.uk Proace City model page, key-figures panel (undated, live 5 Oct 2026). Toyota 'Compact' = L1, 'Medium' = L2 (configurator: 'Icon ... Ply Lining' L1H1VP_5D / 'Icon L2 ... Ply Lining' L2H1VP_5D). Label is 'Load Length without Smart Cargo' with no floor/height qualifier (single unlabelled load length, used per brief); the brochure (Oct 2024) p12 '2-3 SEATS (Load capacity & deck length)' plan views and p18 'Deck Length (mm) 1817 2167', and Toyota's configurator data ('Deck Length (mm)'), give the same. Electric coverage, rule 4(c): the panel gives separate 'Max Payload (Electric)' and 'Max Payload (Diesel)' rows, so its unlabelled load-length rows apply to both.
