Bit of electric delivery vehicle history that seems to be UK-specific: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milk_float

They were gradually phased out from the 90s onwards due to the decline in demand for doorstep delivery. Maybe we'll see a comeback?

We had these where I grew up, all the way to the 2010s. They were slow and had limited range but that isn't a problem for milk delivery which is on suburban roads in the middle of the night.

However they were surprisingly noisy - I was a mild insomniac and always knew when 2.30AM came round because I could hear the milk float buzzing past outside.
