The Postal Service pledges to move to an all-electric delivery fleet
WASHINGTON — In a major boost for President Joe Biden's pledge to eliminate gas-powered vehicles from the sprawling federal fleet, the Postal Service said Tuesday it will sharply increase the number of electric-powered delivery trucks — and will go all-electric for new purchases starting in 2026.

The post office said it is spending nearly $10 billion to electrify its aging fleet, including installing a modern charging infrastructure at hundreds of postal facilities nationwide and purchasing at least 66,000 electric delivery trucks in the next five years. The spending includes $3 billion in funding approved under a landmark climate and health policy adopted by Congress last year.

The White House hailed the announcement as a way to sustain reliable mail service to Americans while modernizing the fleet, reducing operating costs and increasing clean air in neighborhoods across the country.

"This is the Biden climate strategy on wheels, and the U.S. Postal Service delivering for the American people,'' said White House climate adviser Ali Zaidi.

The new plan "sets the postal fleet on a course for electrification, significantly reduces vehicles miles traveled in the network and places USPS at the forefront of the clean transportation revolution," added John Podesta, a senior White House adviser.

It'd be a shame of people put roofing nails in front of their mailboxes for these electric mail trucks to roll over.

What happened to converting the mail trucks to natural gas? I'm sure there was bundles of millions sunk into that failure, just like this idiotic plan on a "stressed grid"? What about e.v. fires? This is just another fucking scam by them that will be a massive failure like everything else they do.

Better move to a new lithium cell compliant slogan also:

Why not just end the damn post office? There's really no need for it any longer....bills are paid online and packages are better sent UPS/FedEx.

The only reason they still exist is to put junk mail in my mailbox and give token minorities a reason to get up in the morning.
