Big companies are moving back to reality i.e. ICE trucks and gasoline ⛽️.
Amazon drivers hate the EV trucks they have been using for the past 6 months in their trial fleet.

Rivian stock plunges after news of Amazon-Stellantis deal
When they could get the deal for Ram ProMaster battery-electric vehicle? Why didn't we get for the Transit?

You are a Ford Corporate PR Troll. Don’t you have better things to do like fixing quality.
These vehicles are just like those stupid scooters that got dumped on city streets a few years ago. No plan, no infrastructure, just dump and go. With a retail commuter a BEV is tolerable because they can charge at home. For a commercial customer where the vehicle is always on the go a BEV will never be practical. Third party owns the Amazon delivery vehicles; there is zero coordination between when a vehicle needs to charge and when it is up. Since the BEVs do not go as far and require too much down time to charge the only way to deliver the same volume of packages is to increase the number of vehicles in the fleet. This is extremely expensive and if it were your business you would not do it so this is of no surprise why Amazon didn’t either. The chickens have come home to roost. Not to mention there is practically no service network with Rivian, and this is the advantage Farley wants to destroy by putting dealers out of business. Beyond stupid, it’s nefarious.
Amazon being unhappy with their Rivian BEV van is an excellent opportunity to offer Amazon the eTransit as a replacement. It would be a perfect way to introduce them to eTransit and the Ford Pro suite of subscription services we offer for commercial customers.
Well, then there is this, if an EV battery gets SCRATCHED, it has to be scrapped….
“For many electric vehicles, there is no way to repair or assess even slightly damaged battery packs after accidents, forcing insurance companies to write off cars with few miles - leading to higher premiums and undercutting gains from going electric.
And now those battery packs are piling up in scrapyards in some countries, a previously unreported and expensive gap in what was supposed to be a "circular economy."
"We're buying electric cars for sustainability reasons," said Matthew Avery, research director at automotive risk intelligence company Thatcham Research. "But an EV isn't very sustainable if you've got to throw the battery away after a minor collision."
ICE getting cut means the Model E folks who can't engineer or design themselves out of a paper bag will not have a job either. You can sell subscriptions which no one wants.
Yall full of hate. I hope more ICE workers get cut. Too many Useless people in the assembly line
Well since Amazon's orders are for Rivians you can expect to hear Mary over at Government Motors to announce 20,000 additional layoffs tomorrow morning before Market opens.
