It probably makes most sense in urban areas where a totally full truck can leave the local depot and fully unload in less than 15 miles. That's the case with my local UPS (in the greater NYC area). Electric vehicles are perfect for this scenario.

(This said I'm sure they'll have to have contingency plans for when the things run out of juice but that's probably the same plan they currently have for accidents or breakdowns)
