Service vehicles, such as compact service carts (e.g., compact electric vehicles), are described that support a variety of service applications. One such vehicle (100) generally includes a vehicle platform (102) and a service box (104). The vendor box (104) includes canopy doors (106) for each of the sides (110, 112, and 114). The canopy doors (106) are movable between a closed position, where the canopy door (106) encloses the service area (108), and an open position where the canopy doors (106) extend outwardly from the sides 110, 112 and 114. In the open position, the doors (106) thus function as a canopy to provide shade at the service area 108 and maximize the space available for rendering services on the sides (110, 112 and 114) of the box (104). The inventive vehicles are adaptable to meet the needs of a wide variety of service applications including food and beverage applications, medical applications, and others.
