Amazon in many places is using electric delivery vans. This is to virtue signal that they are "green." What they don't tell you is that in order to charge their fleet they use giant diesel generators on a flat bed pulled by a diesel truck. No ones sees this as they are back at the warehouse where the vans are parked. As long as it takes fossil fuels to charge electric cars they are just another means of transportation, nothing special

That brings to mind an outback EV charge station I saw on something recently. No power grid where it is so it has a series of solar panels and a huge battery, and a diesel generator because the solar panels aren't enough to keep it charged. 😂
