Yes, some cars have that feature. That fact in and of itself does not make it 'ideal'.

Sure, sure... And gas engines and electric motors Don't like having variable rpm.
Does that sound ridiculous? It's just as true as JYL's assertion about start stop.
When optimizing engines -gas or electric- a single RPM is easiest, and will have the highest efficiency.
But really, if we are making postal vehicles all electric, we really are first interested in something other than energy efficiency. --the goal has moved to a political play.
