Future Forward: The Future of Transportation

The Future of Transportation directed by Cynthia Hill
In 2019, Amazon approached electric vehicle manufacturer Rivian to talk about electrifying the company’s delivery fleet. This summer, just three years later, Amazon and Rivian announced the deployment of the first batch of 100,000 Amazon custom electric delivery vehicles. But the road to decarbonization has not been easy-from vehicle design to infrastructure needs, the transition from traditional gas-powered delivery vans to electric delivery vehicles has required a number of unique innovations as well as help from other Climate Pledge signatories.

Excellent work, Amazon! Thank you for your leadership.

Are you guys 100% sure that EV is the final solution? How's electricity is produced? The batteries? Are we sure that we're not just shifting the problem instead of solving it? Really just questions, not critics

Ask the same question about gas. "How is the gasoline extracted, refined/processed and delivered". Engineering Explained's "Are Electric Cars Worse For The Environment? Myth Busted" does a great job of telling you. If you drive a tesla P100 in WV, you aren't doing any one any good. If you want the TL;DW. Version, go to 9 min 22 sec of that video and see what does the best for your state.
