That's not an optimization, lol, and it's not an answer. If the 20 minute recharge was built into a break, with a fast charger, that's going to add an extra 120

That's not an optimization, lol, and it's not an answer. If the 20 minute recharge was built into a break, with a fast charger, that's going to add an extra 120 miles onto the delivery route range. IDK how many miles Amazon routes are expected to drive in an 8-10 hour shift, but given that the top range of the vehicles is about 350-400 miles with the biggest battery, that's almost an extra 35% of range.
If the trucks go far enough, and the drivers don't need breaks, then say that I guess. Drivers don't want to do their job is not an engineering problem, whereas delivering more packages per shift could be one.
