> It’s amazing how fast we went from rarely seeing an electric Amazon van near me to seemingly most of them being EVs.

Interesting to hear you say that. I've been looking for them but I've still never seen an Amazon EV in the DC metro area.



I happen to live rather close to a large(?) Amazon fulfillment center they just built a few years ago. Our electricity isn’t very expensive either, though it’s not what hydro areas pay.

I don’t know if we’re a test site or it was just easy to get the power installed or what. Perhaps being a new facility meant they just needed new vehicles anyway so it made sense to not buy gas.

But once they started appearing they kept getting more common.
