Hand it to the Brits – a British chain of supermarkets, Tesco, won an award for using Modec EV vans in their home delivery fleet.

These have a 100-mile range and are especially useful in cities because they do not idle (wasting electricity – or fossil fuels) so traffic congestion is no problem.

Great idea – who else will utilize it – UPS? FedEx? DHL? How about the good old US Postal Service?
