Electric seems to work best in cities. My grandad told me they had UPS trucks in NYC that were battery run (that’s when he was like 8).

As a former 30 year resident of NYC I can attest to the severe shortage of gas stations in Manhattan below 125th street and the high cost of gas( real estate and tax $) Made sense then and now, just as industrial parks use electric or propane powered fork lifts...horses for courses.
