    also, wear and tear on your car

    And it should be mentioned that lots of short trips are hard on cars. EVs are probably much better for this, but I would guess that most delivery drivers (who are using their own personal vehicle) aren’t rolling around in EVs.

      Yep. For this reason, I left my car running when I’d stop, as idling on the hybrid battery was better than needing to cold start the car 50 times a day.
