Here in Europe they're experimenting with using EVs to deliver goods to restaurants and shops at night, since they're so quiet they can operate at night without disturbing anyone. This massively cuts down on the hours needed to get everything out since there's no traffic to worry about, which cuts costs too.

It also alleviates traffic during the day by removing those trucks.

It would be easy for governments to subsidize parts of this for the good of society.
