I have a repair manual for an electric delivery vehicle made prior to
WWI.  It was used for delivering milk to homes (no refridgeration) in
the pre-dawn hours.  Since noise was then considered a serious
problem, electric delivery vehicles were the only option.

Note that there are several Li-Ion conversions for Prius hybrids
effectively making them electric cars.

The new battery and plug-in charger extends the battery only range of
the Prius from about 7 miles to about 20 miles.

However, gas, electric, and such will soon be out of fashion.  What we
need is a nuclear powered automobile.:
