For delivery vehicles EV makes a ton of sense. They never travel at the high speeds where EVs are least efficient, they have a consistent place to slow charge every night to prolong battery life, the brakes don't wear despite heavy start/stop service thanks to regen, and by being a single fleet owner the availability of maintenance isn't a large concern.
