Your observation is an important one. You were very polite in characterizing
what happened in the past, but I heard others characterize it as “sabotage.”
A successful transition by a company (or agency) to a new program needs to get
buy-in by the workers using them, and not just shoved down the
All of this is due to battery advancement. which is still the hold back
from more rapid development of EVs.
Elon has said he would have Trucks and Semis if he could make enough batteries.
Other car companies face the same hurtle.And cheap abundant batteries is what
made the phone smaller.
I saw a whole EV installation taken down back in the 90's in Alameda CA. I
participated in removal of chargers and one friend bought one of the vans at
auction. Used in a handy man business for decades. The postal workers were
responsible for the failure as no on was punished for not plugging i

I really don't want to get into the partisan politics of it - that's best

Why is the partisan hack Dejoy even employed? Why do we have a defense
contractor building USPS vehicles when we have a wide range of lower cost
manufacturers that can build them much cheaper? A postal vehicle is the
perfect application for EV with start/stop routes and regen to increase

The USPS has finally announced its selection for new vehicles to replace the
nearly 35 year old LLV design. Not surprisingly they are MUCH larger. They
