Amazon is delivering U.S. online purchases with more than 1,000 electric vehicles.The e-tail giant has reached a goal it set in July 2022 to deploy electric vans it designed and built in partnership with manufacturer Rivian to deliver packages in U.S. cities including Baltimore, Chicago, Dallas, Kansas City, Nashville, Phoenix, San Diego, Seattle, and St. Louis. This rollout is the beginning of what Amazon expects to grow into a fleet of 100,000 custom electric delivery vehicles across the U.S. by 2030.
Customers will begin receiving deliveries during the 2022 holiday season via electric van in new cities, including Austin, Boston, Denver, Houston, Indianapolis, Las Vegas, Madison, Newark, New York, Oakland, Pittsburgh, Portland, Provo, and Salt Lake City...
RSK: Yes, Madison is on the list. I wonder how well they will work in our colder climate and holiday delivery rush....I`d bet they are keeping many gas powered vehicles ready to fill in just in case. But, I admire them for moving ahead with the plan. MG&E must have been busy putting in super charging stations for the fleet.
