CitizenVectron Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 The First EVs in USPS' All-Electric Fleet Will Come From Ford JALOPNIK.COM The USPS awarded Ford a contract that commits the agency to the purchase of 9,250 Ford E-Transit Vans. Quote The USPS is buying 9,250 Ford E-Transit EVs by the end of this year as the agency embarks on the electrification of the largest federal fleet in the U.S. Deliveries of the E-Transit EV mail trucks are due to begin in December of 2023, and the Ford EVs will represent one of the first major milestones in the USPS’ effort to transition away from ICE-equipped delivery vehicles. Interestingly, they have purchased the charging stations to install in 75 cities as part of their future-proofing for more vehicles: Quote The independent agency is also investing another $260 million to buy 14,000 charging stations from Blink Charging, Siemens and Rexel USA. These will be installed in a minimum of 75 cities across the U.S. within the next 12 months. Funny enough, the charging stations will outnumber the Ford EVs — made in Kansas City, Missouri — but this is all part of a long-term plan to build out the infrastructure required to transition to an all-electric fleet. By 2028, the USPS says its NGDV fleet will have a total of 66,230 electric delivery vehicles, plus another 39,770 gas-powered vehicles. At least by then, EVs will outnumber ICEs among the familiar red, white and blue delivery trucks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
