The Shape of Things to Come (in Europe): Tesco has unleashed a fleet of vehicles to the London streets to deliver its goods, all electric. This is so cool. I know that UPS has been doing a lot of great stuff on alternative fuels, but wouldn't it be great if they could have a fleet of all electrics? Suppose that this thing only goes for 100 miles before a recharge, that might be enough for the average UPS truck. And what about USPS? I would think that the average carrier does far less than 100 miles in a day (although they wouldn't need anything this big). According to the USPS web site, they currently have over 37,000 vehicles in their fleet. Can you imagine the impact that this would have. Suppose that they average just 3 gallons of fuel a day. That would mean 936 gallons per vehicles saved, or 34,632,000 gallons of fuel for the fleet. That would mean one less supertanker for the US each year. Add UPS and FedEx, now you are talking about some fuel savings.
