I was talking to someone last night who works for the U.S.government at a huge center with thousands of employees. I think the building might be LEED certified. It was built about 12+/- years ago. I asked where the chargers are for employees with electric vehicles. There are NONE.
I remember a time of prominent sustainability experts working on the "Green White House" in the late 80s/early 90s. I looked this up and realized it is, of course, dead in the water thanks to you-know-who. Why am I surprised? Not only are they not encouraging the use of evs for employees, opportunities for cost savings and policy having anything to do with climate change are over, too.

(36,299 posts)Mail delivery routes are relatively short, predictable, and except in the most rural areas, purely local. I haven't heard of any use of EV's by USPS even here in the TVA area, where electricity is cheap.
I note that UPS has an actual EV strategy; apparently the USPS is forbidden to have one. Maybe after that pension fund is fully pre-funded, they can turn their attention to less urgent structural investments.
