Sparkingchip:
As I pulled onto my driveway yesterday there was a self employed Amazon delivery guy dropping packages off at neighbours homes.
He was driving a 2004 Renault Trafic van, you could buy a van like that and be on the road as a self employed delivery driver for around £2K, to replace that van with a new electric delivery van could cost £60K.
It is not going to happen, unless Amazon buy the vans and employ the drivers or arrange leases and ensure the self employed drivers earn enough to cover the cost.
It will happen when the electric van can be purchased on credit, and when the repayments are less than the running costs of a petrol or diesel vehicle.
