I expected the map would stay in imperial units and by bike...
The nearest "real" super market is 18 miles away , with +1276 ft and -2618 ft when going to it. And 19 miles +2684 ft and -1242 ft to go back home with the bike loaded.
There's a relatively big city at 28 miles
This is a big expense (about 7500 euros). and it's a 3 month waiting between the order and the delivery
the bike :

Vialas is a very nice quiet place (2 inhabitants per square km) and it's as far as possible from our nice nuclear power stations...
Plenty of wood, and a source of water near the house !
Growing vegetables might be possible if you can make a garden. I'm curious if people with ebike experience will say it is sufficient for carrying groceries all that way and with the elevation changes. Do some hub motors do regenerative braking now to charge the battery while going downhill? If not, I can't imagine why considering an electric motor should be able to double as a generator.
