What makes you say that using alternative fuels is stupid?

Why not?
You are sitting there for 45-60 minutes-----may as well plug in the pkg car and get it charged back up.
I fueled my truck on the clock every day for 34 1/2 years.
I sure as hell would charge it on the clock.

You want a toe? I can get you a toe.

Then you'd think the company would find a way to get him moving
You do realize, I hope, that you can't just plug an EV into any old outlet you may run across.

if they want to put an EV on the road, they can eat the recharge time

I will code the memo as driver error.
Not the driver's problem.
Maybe, like you, the driver could stop home for lunch every day.
That is, if UPS installed a charger and paid for the power and installation.

Why would someone want to inconvenience themselves every day on their lunch (which is their time) because their employer didn't have the foresight to think of all this beforehand?

Let me back up here. I believe you said your DD is a Yaris. How many miles do you drive it a day?

I take my lunch during the day. I may not even mind waiting a lil longer to make that lunch coincide with the truck charging but we are talking about end of the day. And being peak that end of day can be 9 or 10 oclock. Sorry but Im not saving my lunch because my battery needs a charge just to make it back to the building

On road the batteries get their charge from a generator that kicks on when you turn the vehicle off. The generator runs off of gas. At night when returning to the center you plug in to a charging unit until you leave the next morning. There is no actual engine

Thats pretty sweet. My route is about 50 miles a day. I'd totally rock one

UPS's forage into "going green" is just like their approach to safety. It's all for show! These trucks have huge lettering on the sides that say "Hybrid Electric Vehicle".
They don't have to perform well, they just need to look good.
Meanwhile, they are forcing drivers to work 70 hour weeks.

How does the heat work in those?

WHEN it works then it’s ok. Problem is unless you keep it in the “on” position all of the time then it takes forever to get heat.
