The delivery center has more than 100 electric delivery vans and 164 charging ports. Amazon currently uses 20,000 electric vans across the United States and is aiming to have 100,000 of them by 2030.
Delivery vans tend to be major gas guzzlers due to their size and weight. For example, the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter achieves a fuel economy of only 15-21 miles per gallon.
The smaller van, again by dint of its lighter weight, has a bit more range at 161 miles, with the larger 700 running 153 miles. Both can charge on J1772 and CCS1, with DC fast speeds up to 100 kW.
Amazon was the first customer of Rivian’s electric delivery vans. The online retailer is a Rivian investor and in 2019 it committed to buying 100,000 vans from the startup by 2030.
