There is one other consideration. Sure we can charge some batteries at C rates of 10 - but should we. Often the cell will take it, but you damage the cell and so you lower your lifespan. If you are on a road trip once in a while this isn't a big deal, but if you travel constantly (that is a delivery driver) this becomes an important economics question since the battery will wear out faster.
That is one type of delivery. I know someone who specializes in cross US deliveries. There are some niches where only the original counts and they don't trust it to a standard delivery, so it gets driven in a car. truck drivers also count as a delivery. I used to have a friend who installed paint booth to automotive body shops - a special skill that had him drive all over the US to wherever the next job was

Delivery drivers are single shift and usually only drive very short distances, which means these vehicles mostly see a slow trickle charge over night.
