Also mail trucks, especially in (sub)urban areas. Those things really don't put on that many miles each day, and the type of driving they do gives them terrible mileage that would be much more efficient on the electric paradigm.
Sadly, the Grumman LLVs are set to be replaced by stock vans.
If I remember correctly, the first USPS fleet replacement option was laughable in its EV percentage, but I believe that has since changed to a significantly higher percentage.

This USPS announcement says 75% will be electric, and they’ll only be buying electric after 2026.
