These trucks are solving the "last mile" delivery. Do you see many USPS delivery vans on the highway? That's the market.

In a dense urban environment, 62 miles is still less than most delivery trucks drive. In the US, the actual average overall is more like 2-3x that.

All the time. That being said, it is Seattle so I-5 isn't usually moving at 50 mph anyway :)
