If you want to deliver lots of packages without violating traffic laws, then rapid acceleration seems like obvious low-hanging fruit. If the vehicle is quiet and nobody's in the way, then what is the problem?

- p1mrx 7y agoAcceleration is power intensive, not necessarily energy intensive. You need (1/2)mv^2 to reach a given velocity, regardless of how much time is spent. If rapid acceleration happens to be less efficient, then that's just an engineering problem.
