Buses, taxis, delivery vans - there are loads of vehicles that need to be running all day and can't stop for a charge.

If buses ever go Lithium they may figure out a way to do large battery swap-n-charge systems at the main station.

Taxis are already solved via Uber and so it's likely that people are already interested in buying EVs and that's no different for Uber drivers.

Delivery vehicles are often carrying only so much cargo and so it's likely the single night charge can handle everything. Mountain deliveries may see problems if we don't have a liquid fuel however.

I suspect all those applications are, in fact, stopping at some point. There are taxi drivers on EVs today. They have to stop to eat sometime.
Taxis and delivery vans do fill up during the day.
Exactly, and with Hydrogen its quick, just like gas.
