Senate Calls USPS Bluff with $3 billion for Electric Trucks - Will It Go 100% BEV?
09 Aug 2022 | Abstracted from Electrek
"It's the latest move in the long saga for postal service electrification and effectively 'calls USPS's bluff' by supplying as much funding as the USPS claimed a 100% BEV fleet would cost.
"In its decision, the USPS...claimed it would cost $3.3 billion more in upfront costs to convert the fleet to 100% BEV instead of 90% ICE...which almost perfectly matches the $3 billion allocated by the new Senate bill."
