I'm a smalltime farmer on ~4000 sqm (~2 acres). I can't think of anything that would replace my diesel tractor effectively now. Even though I'm just using it to till from time to time, it uses a lot of power to do that. An electric option that could tick all the boxes would be cool, but there's no way I could afford that. For large-scale farmers, I don't know what can exist that would meet their power and timing needs.
I am looking forward to getting an electric car as my next vehicle, though.

Honestly I'd hedge my shit across multiple fuel sources and types if I could afford it.
And let's be clear that the ability to turn off the valve to petro-fuel ALL AT ONCE is a power that will be useful politically.

Calling it staggering is really overselling it.
