A electric Powered 7,5 ton Truck
On Motorway uphill 40 Mph if Battery is not Low in charge (with empties on it)
And,…
Best you try it yourself 
Mercedes?
Was speaking to a UPS driver the other day who uses one on city deliveries. He says the charges on them are so variable if you hit traffic you might have to cut a run short.
Hardly sounds ideal to me.

sounds perfect to me that round about 15.00 have to go back to the yard becasuse you are running out of charge. 
The tnt depot next door to us has a couple have no idea of the costs involved but id bet they are more expensive than a standard diesel. I bet the only purpose is for public PR ‘‘look at us we are green’’

and probably subsidies 
I remember seeing electric bakery vans back in the 1960s The concept works but they would be better if you could have a spare battery to get you back to the depot.
I don’t remember seeing any milk floats running out of battery when I was a kid? they used to do a fair bit of mileage early mornings and all stop start
A bit of a blurry pic, but I used to deliver to a builders merchant in Birmingham who used this ex-milk float for local deliveries.
If i remember right doesn’t Prince Phillip have an electric Transit. Maybe he has an everning job delivering pizza

There used to be a milk depot nearby when I was a kid, as it was on a hill most days you would see a few being towed the last few hundred yards by a transit milk float.

FTFY.
Hiya …not knocking anyone…this new electric truck idea was been used in france
midway through the 2nd world war…there was a chocolate company in paris that thought
petrol/diesel engines would taste the load , so they had electric lorries…i saw one of these
lorries in a museum nr Tours in september when i was on holiday. funny how manufacturers
think they come up with somthing new…see the maurice duffresney museum its well worth
a visit.
