How Amazon Became the Largest Private EV Charging Operator in the US

To install 17,000 delivery van chargers at 120 warehouses, the
company had to be flexible, patient and spend a lot of money.

Amazon's Maple Valley, Washington, warehouse is built for speed. At
night, big rigs pull up to one end to unload boxes and padded mailers
- some after a short drive from a bigger warehouse down the road,
others following a flight in the hold of a cargo plane. Waiting
employees scan, sort and load them into rolling racks.

Before 7 a.m. each day, many of those racks are wheeled out to dozens
of vans lined up in four painted lanes. It's the starting line at a
Formula One race, but for $22-an-hour delivery drivers who ferry
bottles of shampoo and packs of batteries to suburban Seattle
doorsteps.
