It’s the latest data point for national Republicans who see Cornyn flailing with primary voters but worry about the general election prospects for Paxton

I live in Phoenix, and I agree local delivery vehicles could be good candidates for electric.

Two things, though:
If ALL the trucks have to be charged every night at the same time, that's a lot of charging stations, and a lot of draw on the local grid. It might work by the high voltage power lines in Phoenix, but not so much in Maricopa or Surprise.

We have seen a couple of government EV bus depots catch fire. Not pretty. Even worse if your check, legal service, or new passport is sitting on that truck.

On the other hand, EVs bur less when stopped. On another other hand, AC in Phoenix will use up battery faster.

They probably wouldn’t have to be charged every night. Most routes probably aren’t more than 50 miles, these days their ranges are inline with ICE engines, so 250 to 400 miles. Of course taking only a small chunk of the charge each day also means you could just wall outlet charge them, easy to trickle in an eighth of the charge overnight.

PO next to where I work had some sort of fire situation last year. Never found out the details just a LOT of trucks. Fires happen.
