They still serve very different purposes. Tesla semi isn't going to be driving down residential streets. Vans are not delivering pallets of chips.
I do think EV Vans will be a huge help for climate change and residential noise levels. Can't wait to not hear UPS/Fedex trucks multiple times a day.
- alistairSH 4y agoToo bad EV doesn't fix the incessant back-up beeping. Or worse, Amazon's crunchy mechanical back-up noise. Not sure which I loathe more... beep beep beep or aaahnnn aaahnnn aaahnnn
- shortcake27 4y agoYou should visit the UK. The trucks audibly announce their intentions. “STAND CLEAR. THIS VEHICLE IS TURNING LEFT. STAND CLEAR. THIS VEHICLE IS TURNING LEFT”.
- alistairSH 4y agoOn the plus side, that probably means those drivers are using their turn signals. It's a bit of a free-for-all here in the states.
- thrill 4y agoIt'll be worse. Present law requires EVs to also make artificial irritating noise in either direction.
- Arrath 4y agoI'd rather hear beeping than have more people end up flat.
- richardw 4y agoI’m hoping for something far smaller than a car. A couple shopping bags or three pizzas in a very fast tiny delivery vehicle.

- richardw 4y agoApologies I didn’t fill it out enough. No passengers - ads weight and cost. Automated system that gets your shopping or pizza to you as quickly as possible with least energy expended. This but on steroids, like a tron light cycle: https://www.wired.com/2017/03/delivery-robot-isnt-just-charming-stuffed-pizza/ https://www.wired.com/2017/03/delivery-robot-isnt-just-charm...
