This is a pilot run of 50. Think of them as prototypes. They will use what they learn from these prototypes to build a larger fleet. If they can make these purchase price competitive with their current trucks it will be a huge win.
Saying they should just use Streetscooters is like telling a family of 5 to use a motorcycle.
That's my point exactly.

The platform won't scale up 5x to meet UPS's needs, it will require a new platform which is what UPS is piloting.
