Cargo e-bikes generally have a battery capacity limit of around 25 miles (which batteries aren’t meant to be fully drained every time they’re used anyway).
Any suggestions that don’t include the use of cars in a carpool or moving?
Is “Fuck Cars” a pro-city/anti-rural philosophy?
The answer is to use a car. Ideally the smallest and most efficient one that fits your common use cases.
Fuck Cars is not anti-rural but it’s more applicable in urban and suburban places, where your essentials are within a few miles and there are viable alternatives. There are areas where cars can’t be avoided, and nobody is suggesting you never leave your house.
I mean, I hate cars yet I probably use either a family member’s or a friend’s car every now and then, or will take taxis. It’s not about, do anything possible to not use a car (although if you can, better, I guess) but it’s about changing the way we as a society rely on cars. In fact, I believe even in a society where trains are predominant there are still scenarios where certain people will need electrical automobiles, mostly in rural areas for people who need to move a lot around specific hard terrains. Your case, though, could be easily solved with trains.

while I agree with a lot of your post (certainly more informative than the others), I disagree that the issue could be easily solved. There is a lack of political will (at best) and an outright hostility (at worst) to the very idea of trains and public transportation.
What I tried to say is that it could easily be solved in the sense that the solution to your problem would be easy if your country would be willing to spend some money on infrastructure, but that will never happen simply because liberal democracy is incapable of doing anything to prevent the climate crisis, therefore it will never stop relying on cars.
