Fascinating story, and not just the bit about more new miles than anyone else

"The average number of parcels that can be delivered per hour by cargo e-bike is ... an average of 10.1 packages per hour, as opposed to delivery vans, which can deliver 4.9 packages per hour."
"Adding insurance, maintenance, depreciation, and energy costs ... each delivery cost €0.10 with the cargo bike, €1.10 with a small diesel van and €1.05 with a small electric van."
Friendly reminder that if I paid you $1'000 *every day*, it would take you 2.74 years to become a millionaire. It would take you 2739 *years* to become a billionaire.
Meaning, if someone had started to give you $1000 in 715 BC (680 years before the Roman Empire even started), you would *now* have 1 billion dollars.
For comparison, Elon Musk's net worth is 251.3 billion dollars. Bezos' net worth is 168.4 billion dollars.
There are no good billionaires. They're all criminals and oppressors.

A reminder that e-cars are about saving the motor industry, and not about saving the planet...
