very nice. I'd probably look for a waterproof cover for the box too so that may have to be custom. is that box from some of the plans shared in this thread?
also if I can ask what group you are using? XT, Alfine?
security wise currently as many hefty locks as I can afford! also power/cordless tools to be brought inside at night whilst others stay in the bike. has anyone managed to get motorbike alarms to work?

The box is not from plans shared. It's called the Holde Box from Splendid Cycles. It's not cheap but it was worth it to me at the time. You could make one.

I use the e6100 system from Shimano with a DI2 XT Drivetrain.
You could also easily make some kind of a cover out of something. I would try and find something stretchy.

You want my set-up.
On my e6100 bullitt I guess I would easily get 30 km on a charge with that weight. Probably much more actually. Hard to know. Hills change that markedly. Spending as much time in ECO mode
as possible ensuress that sort of range.
You want a cargo box like mine. It is extremely durable and utilitarian, and the sides pop off with a single truck strap that allows you to carry large awkwardly shaped cargo when necessary. You can drill all kinds of holes in it and make simple bolt on accessories. I use it for everything from child transport to lawn care to groceries to giant piles of bricks. The sort of weight you mention is peanuts for it.
I don't know how you'll park it on the street without a lot of anti-theft planning.
