For Heavy-Load Local Deliveries: Consider Smith's Edison (3.5 ton, 1338 kg payload, 150-mile range) or Smith's Newton (7.5 ton, 3400 kg payload, 130-mile range). These trucks are currently in use by DHL and Starbucks in Europe.
For Small-Load Local Deliveries: Take a look at the ZENN (Zero-Emission No-Noise Vehicle). It has a 35-mile range and gets the electric-battery equivalent of 245 mpg. I drove a ZENN around the block last Saturday and it performs well for in-town errands.

For quick, local document deliveries: Vectrix Scooters are a great alternative. They have a range of 65 miles and provide 5 hours of simulated urban driving. They are sleek, stylish, and recharge in 2 hours.
For long-range, high-mileage use: Purchase a Toyota Prius and convert it to a Plug-In Electric Vehicle. OEMtek, based in Northern California, can convert your Prius in half a day for between $12,500-$15,000. Average fuel economy is 125 mpg in combined urban and freeway driving. OEMtek can also offer fleet and volume discounts.
The variety of electric-drive vehicles available today is a testament to their improved technology and reliability. Your company can stand out as an environmental leader and save money on fuel costs by owning some of these clean, green machines.
