Might not be a terrible idea for delivering around town, but the logistics of keeping them charged will be an issue.
yep, this is a great use of electric cars.
I think most make a synthetic noise so people can hear them now.
I think enough people got hit in crosswalks and parking lots to raise the “silence” issue.
And at the last store I worked, keeping the homeless bums from sleeping in them will also be an issue.
Here’s another lousy pizza I won’t be buying.
“Had it set up where he could plug it in at home.”
Did he mention how that impacted his electric bill? Not criticizing, but sincerely wondering.
Hi.
“but the logistics of keeping them charged will be an issue.”
Especially with the warming ovens.

“Might not be a terrible idea for delivering around town, but the logistics of keeping them charged will be an issue.”
Actually, for them, it might not be too bad, as their peak hours for deliveries are quite limited. Totally different than, say, a taxi company.
One buys electricity per “kilowatt-hour.”
The vast majority of progressive idiots, devoid of any actual science knowledge, think charging a car takes about as much as charging a laptop.
Medium-use electric vehicles use as much total electricity PER DAY as a three-bedroom typical house uses in A MONTH. (Plus or minus a bit.)
AND the electricity is GENERATED many MILES away, and there’s considerable LOSS in the transmission wires; AND the power plants BURN something (oil/gas) or use EVIL NOOKLEAR POWER — BOTH too evil to even contemplate.
Bottom Line:
EVs are NOT cheap, and DO make as much “pollution” as anything else — they just do it miles away.
This is not improvement OR “green.”
I honestly think (many) Americans have the worst taste buds on the planet.
Let me guess the Obama/Biden mafia twisted their arms to buy them from Chevy.
Just as I expected Domino’s is head quarter in Ann Arbor, Michigan, another liberal Blue State in a big time Democrat controlled City.
Crushed Red Pepper. Do Not Crush:
When they burst into flames, it’ll keep the pizza nice and warm!
“Weird how quiet it was.”
My BFF is on her second hybrid (her husband won’t let her get a fully electric car, LOL!) and when it’s on electric you truly cannot hear that thing.
If we’re going any distance I say, “Let’s take my Ford truck. At least people will hear us coming and get out of the way!” ;)
This is a very good niche fit for these vehicles.. all local, short run driving. plus, adding a warming holding area possibly running off the battery to keep the pizzas warm during transport could be done.
This, on paper, seems to be a very nice fit for this type of vehicle.
Go woke...
They must know their market well, but I won’t buy their stock (or eat their crap product).
In Detroit ? How well do the heaters work on them thar runabouts ? Miami maybe but Detroit ? Brrr
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
It's suspicious when northern states invest in solar and EVs imo.
Yes, EV technology needs to be pioneered and domesticated imo.
But not only do EV batteries not hold charge well in cold weather, but study finds that EV batteries take longer to charge in cold weather.
EV CHARGING IN COLD TEMPERATURES COULD POSE CHALLENGES FOR DRIVERS (non-FR; 7.30.2018)
I wonder if unconstitutional, accountable, desperate Democratic vote-buying federal dollars are involved in this purchase?
Wait till they have to replace a battery. As you can tell EV’s are BS.
