Postal Service, once chided for slow adoption of EVs, announces plan to cut greenhouse gas emissions: The Postal Service intends to save $5 billion by consolidating smaller facilities into larger sorting and processing hubs that eliminate thousands of trips a day

1. Like…. they still need EVs for their trucks. No one has stopped “chiding” them for that.

   This is still a long hangover from Trump-era nominations. I sure hope America understands how much of a disaster another Trump presidency would be…..

2. This is literally just DeJoy continuing the plan by the Republicans to ruin the USPS so it can eventually be privatized.

   Guess what type of organization he lead before he was given the gift of Post Master General by Trump? All’s this does is cut costs, sells off federal property and cuts jobs all while reducing the customer experience giving this FEDERAL AGENCY (not a business) a worse name in the eyes of the American public.

   This will have minimal if not zero impact on CO2 emissions and is probably written by a republican operative.

3. This model sounds fishy.

   Why would many small USPS Vans driving Farther to a Bigger center be efficient, vs. One Big Truck driving to smaller distribution centers? And then local Vans pick up from a local distribution center?

   I bet this could be modeled. Show the model and prove it.

4. Since it’s under the executive couldn’t the president make them go to EVs?
