This vehicle looks like Homer Simpson's BBQ pit.
If you're willing to be honest, that looks like a very purpose built design for residential delivery.
Since it's electric, you do not need a long high hood over/around an engine. The angled bumper can get in and out of tight spots with other cars on the street probably very close to curbside mailboxes. The large windshield provides the driver excellent field of view, again with people parked very close to mailboxes. Finally it's tall enough in the back to allowed most carriers to stand up completely or with minimal stooping/bending.
What's it's range? I presume sufficient for most suburban residential routes?
Not a one size fits all, but if it fits a niche that covers 50% of their routes...
