Amazon was first out of the blocks, ordering 100,000 electric delivery vans from startup electric car maker Rivian. By 2022, the US retail giant wants to have the first 10,000 Rivian vans on the road. Thus far, the Deliver-E exists only as a set of drawings and some early prototype parts, but it will offer much more variety of performance than any other electric delivery van thus far. Of course, the downside is that you might not hear the delivery van pulling up outside anymore, which could lead to a few more missed packages. Take your electric van and fill it with delivery robots.
