Well this is Europe and 100 km range for a local delivery truck is likely adequate enough.
IN the article they mention that this prototype will be moving parts from one factory to another about 8 times a day....about 16 km total a day and would likely be a full shift or two.
I'd think for most areas in Europe a daily allowance of 100 km is adequate for a delivery van. And it is a prototype....by the time something like this is released that range will likely be significantly more.
