Total fan of ebikes myself. I would consider a hitchable trailer for bulk shopping for your next investment. It will be mine. The 25k radius is about right for an ebike. They really are a freedom machine.
EDIT: This is the sort of thing I mean
A rear rack and paneer set will carry a decent amount of cargo. Probably enough for a single person's weekly shop.
Nah, you're nobody without a milk crate strapped on the back. Fix it on right, and you can fit panniers as well. The only downside to the classic crate is that it's not big enough for bulk toilet paper AND a handbag. Hence the need for a hitchable trailer as well. The best of which can be detached easily enough to use as a shopping cart inside the shop and then just hitched up and go when done. Also allows for transport of squashables like iced cake and the like - which doesn't survive well in panniers and/or crate.

two metric milk crates. One on either side? You win - detachable shopping cart sounds great if you can afford to accessorize. Front handle basket for squashables!
