60 miles is practical when both warehouse and delivery locations are within city limits.

  Is it? It takes 5-10 minutes to refuel a diesel. What is the equivalent downtime between types of trucks?

    As long as your battery lasts the work day it's not a problem. Think of it like an electric fork lift.

    Most delivery vehicles work 8am-6pm. Supermarket deliveries work with other schedules but also just for a few hours per day. That gives 14 hours charging window with (at least partly) low energy costs. For trucks that are not used a lot, this solution could end up cheaper because the battery can be used profitably while the truck is waiting.
