[EVDL] Delivery truck

[Marc de Piolenc via EV]

Great article. And it points up a serious flaw in all the recent 
promotion of electric vehicles - they all neglect the one mission that 
an electric can perform without exotic batteries, ultra-lightweight 
construction and huge amounts of money.
The British milk float (recently) and the many delivery vehicles 
(earlier on) are proof of this, using ordinary deep-cycle lead acid 
batteries.
The early government support for EV development in the 1970s emphasized 
this mission, but these days I guess it just isn't "cool."
