The electric motor is lighter than an ICE, but the batteries needed to reach the 200+ mile range a delivery van needs are blooming heavy (compared to a full petrol tank).
Arrival have mentioned a range for the UPS van of 190 km. I don't think that I've ever seen a figure for Rivian's offering to Amazon, but their other EVs are up in Tesla territory.
