I initially thought it would be higher due to people isolating and now shopping, but a lot of people now have less disposable income to spend on expensive food delivery. Also less availability (restaurants closing down)

I've not tested the low threshold, but a 20 minute drive seems to be more than sufficient.
We can do it just fine in cheap laptops (with lithium batteries which require more complex charge management), why can't we do it for cars that cost tens of thousands?
Emergency lights use a lot of power, as you can imagine. Even the LED ones. But we also don't want to idle on scene for a while.
So new ambulances (and engines, too) have a nice feature. Leave the lights running. Turn the engine off.
When the battery voltage gets low enough, the vehicle will start the engine, let it run til the voltage is better, then shut itself back off.
For many restaurants this is the only income they have and it's highly encouraged to order some.
Not many people have gone down in disposable income, though. That might be a factor.
So basically our economy kinda just runs on, even though a lot less is happening.
Restaurants have switched to delivery if they can. Most people I know actually have more money now, since you can't really go out and spend it. And May is usually the month where Dutch people get their 13th month (bonus).
We'll see the wave of defaults and bankruptcies in a couple of months.
1. People have more free time from being stuck at home, unable to work, so less need to rely on delivery apps.
2. People get tired of being stuck at home and one of the few permitted reasons to leave is acquiring food.
People who already had the means to rely on Uber Eats, continue to do so. But the rest quickly realize that paying $22 for a meal instead of $8 isn't worth it
