"USPS Introduces Electric Vehicle Charging Stations and E-Transit Vans for Majority-Electric Fleet"

The United States Postal Service (USPS) has unveiled its first electric vehicle (EV) charging stations at its South Atlanta Sorting and Delivery Center, with plans to install them at hundreds of new centers across the country to power the nation's largest EV fleet. This initiative is part of the USPS's 10-year Delivering for America plan to modernize its postal network, with a $40 billion investment strategy to upgrade processing, transportation, and delivery networks. The agency also showcased newly purchased commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) electric delivery vehicles and plans to procure a total of 21,000 COTS EVs, along with at least 45,000 battery-electric Next Generation Delivery Vehicles (NGDVs) by 2028, bringing the total number of EVs in the delivery fleet to more than 66,000. This effort is part of the USPS's commitment to electrifying its fleet and advancing sustainability as part of its operations modernization plan.
