For our duty cycle and fairly close proximity to the home base, an EV isn't a bad choice. The PO will save millions alone on reduced maintenance fees, less towing charges to the vehicle maintenance facility for routine service and fewer breakdowns just from having a new updated fleet. No downside here and they'll have AC.

 

Indeed.

 

But... But... But... How will I know when the mail is being delivered out here in the country if I don't have the beat to crap USPS van/truck with no muffler running up and down the road each day... Does this mean I will actually have to walk out and check the mail each day... 1st world problems...

 

Because it is Saturday and everyone loves a good WTF laugh...

 

Back story on that LLV. https://www.thedrive.com/news/39022/...l-block-engine

 

I would actually love to have an LLV that was well maintained. They are so easy to drive and have a ton of space in the back. Fantastic around town hauler. Oh wait, that's what they're used for now!

 

Only thing I dislike about the ride is going over bumps/dips in the road, it has such a short wheel base it's like riding a roller coaster on steroids, think "Wild Mouse". That and they're rattle boxes with endless noises.

1st time I ever drove one was back in 92 or 93 working at Goodyear. They brought a bunch of them in for alignments and that's one of my specialties.

 

I'd love to show that drag video to my mail lady!

This will only suck a little bit since our law makers are forcing the USPS to buy as many EV's as they demand.
