Title is a bit misleading:

"Almost two-thirds of Europe’s city dwellers support a ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars after 2030, according to a new YouGov poll."

I imagine electric vehicles are better suited to European cities than most places thanks to higher population density, so electric vans and the like will be just fine in the vast majority of cases.

That's because they have access to alternatives, which are currently best suited for towns only, or don't need cars. The title is not misleading. Still, I am not aware of any viable electric van on the market at the moment (I think Ford is releasing a hybrid Transit but that's as good as it currently gets as far as I know). People who rely on cars and vans may want to see affordable alternatives on the market before supporting an outright ban on ICE.

From a quick search the 2018 Nissan e-NV200 has a range of 174 miles which I would hazard guess is more than enough range for most tradesmen daily runs (for European Geography, the range is probably not distance friendly for US/Canada sort of scenario).
