You reminded me that electric home grocery deliveries have a longer history in the UK than people might think - growing up in the 1980s in the UK daily milk deliveries via an electric milkfloat were absolutely ubiquitous, and had been since the 1940s. The distinctive whining sound of a milk float pulling away, milk bottles chinking, was the definitive sound of a town waking up in the morning - diesel-motored vans chugging around first thing would have been incredibly annoying.
