Electric milk delivery trucks ("milk floats" [1]) were a common sight in the UK from the 1950s until the 1980s, when doorstep delivery of milk started to decline.
There are still a few around.

- mytailorisrich 6y agoYeah we still have a milk float doing its round (England) and it is electric (and quite beat-up, looks old). When we hear that "wizz" sound in the morning we know it's the guy. Edit: Our local one looks like a "Dairy Crest Smith's Elizabethan milk float" in the Wikipedia page's pictures.
