EV local delivery will be huge - my prediction. I think the bottleneck
right now is supply. The current technology easily supports the range
needed for most local delivery cases. The operations cost for gas or
diesel is so much higher that pretty much all companies appear to be
ready to buy EVs now, if only they could get them.

EVs have effectively replaced Diesel cars in Europe already.
At one time, mid-2000s I think, Diesels made up close to half of EU new car
sales. But as the EU developed more stringent emissions regulations, it got
more and more expensive to make them compliant. Then the VW scandal - and
other less well publicized ones involving other manufacturers - pretty well
sealed the Diesel coffin.
EU Diesel sales have tanked as EV sales have risen, and good riddance. Now
if we can just accomplish the same thing with trucks here ...
