I have about 700km on my enviolo, equipped on a 40km/h pedelec rather than a cargo bike, but I have quite a few hills and I'm not going easy on it. Unfortunately it still lives on. It is incredibly draggy as I found out when I ran out battery once and according to the bosch computer I was putting out >300W and going about 5km/h on a false flat. Not fun.

Enviolo is pure shit but you can get by on it until it breaks- which can be quite a long time if you don’t ask much from it (no hills, heavy loads, powerful mid drive). YMMV:)
It also feels quite horrid to use and has high rolling resistance, notably so compared to Rohloff IME.
It is cheaper, and useable to an extent. So hard to justify the cost of Rohloff on these grounds alone, I agree with others here on that point.
That said it’s been a couple of years since I’ve had the displeasure of using them and they’ve since released some heavy duty ones. Can’t speak on those !
