Electric cars have very little maintenance and city driving is not as bad for them as for ICE cars. Tire rotation/changes will be the only major item. This is probably a major reason why they are doing this. It is far more predicable than ICE cars.

Regen braking with lots of in city driving is perfect...

Not to mention when they're idling / waiting for delivery, they can be plugged in

No point in even turning them off because they only pull about 1-2 kw idling in winter

65 kwh battery, 15 min wait for the next delivery at around 50 kw means 20% charge or around a 50 mile range

Your car = $2.80/hr + tips

Our car = “car benefit” + $0.80/hr + tips

They’ll find a way to expense the cars

As they should. It still opens a lot of opportunities for people without reliable cars, and tips make up the most of the money for delivery drivers anyways.

Minimum wage will still apply. I'm not sure why you think it wouldn't.
