    It still puts a smile on my face when staples delivers paper and office supplies to the building I work in, as it is delivered in a Smith electric truck. The technology is out there, works well, and saves money. I think it will not be long before electric delivery trucks are the norm.

    They make perfect delivery trucks if they follow a known delivery route and don't deviate that much. They know exactly how much range they need and can charge at night.
