Automakers may be rapidly building out electric-vehicle supply chains, but the operations on the road aren’t yet in gear. A recent 1,000-mile road trip in the longest-range electric vehicle on the market, a Lucid Air Grand Touring, clarified how far the sector must go for drivers to have a consistent and satisfying experience on par with buying a gasoline vehicle. The WSJ’s Christopher Mims writes in a Keywords column that issues for drivers include the lack of reliable estimates on the true range of vehicles as well as software complications for machines that are effectively smartphones on wheels. Also looming large is that America doesn’t have enough reliable chargers where they are most needed to make powering up as easy as fueling up. The hurdles are separate from the trucking sector’s challenges, but addressing them will help set the groundwork for improvements in the world of commercial vehicles.

The food-delivery business is struggling to adjust to a changing consumer landscape. Chicago-based takeout pioneer Grubhub is laying off around 15% of its workforce, the WSJ’s Heather Haddon reports, as the company seeks to reduce costs to stay competitive in a market featuring well-funded rivals and foundering demand. Food-delivery companies’ sales surged early in the Covid-19 pandemic but have since plateaued as customers resume eating out at restaurants. Grubhub was once the market leader in its category but has since fallen to No. 3 behind DoorDash and Uber Eats. Food businesses have had a tough time making the logistics that underpin their business pay as consumer spending has shifted. DoorDash said last year that it would cut around 1,250 people, or 6% of its workforce. Meal-kit delivery company Blue Apron in December laid off 10% of its workforce and last month sold its logistics assets.
