It’s looking a lot like the all-electric USPS trucks won’t be gracing most of our streets — at least not in the near future. The Postal Service is still planning to buy about 5,000 of the strange, duck-looking electric vehicles, but the Postmaster General is also shutting down any hope of that order being extended.
The Biden administration and the EPA have urged the USPS to purchase more electric trucks as movement toward the White House’s goal of significantly reducing vehicle emissions by 2030. Instead, the USPS has decided to go ahead with its plan of using $11.3 billion to buy new mail trucks that run on gas instead.
