💨 Abstract

The U.S. Postal Service's effort to replace aging mail trucks with electric vehicles faces congressional opposition. Republican senators like Joni Ernst and Michael Cloud aim to revoke federal funding for the EV program, citing delays and high costs. However, experts argue that electric vehicles are ideal for the Postal Service's routes and crucial for reducing carbon emissions. The Postal Service maintains that the EV transition is on track and will ultimately save money.
