Actually, from the article
“The U.S. Postal Service is buying 9,250 Ford Motor Co. electric vans and 14,000 charging stations
the Postal Service will also purchase 9,250 gas-powered vans from Fiat Chrysler in North America
The contracts awarded to Fiat Chrysler and Ford together will total just over $1 billion”
So $1,000,000,000 / (9,250+9250) = $54,054 per vehicle. If we assume that 50% goes to Ford for the electric vehicles PLUS 14000 charging stations - so the price per electric vehicle is LESS than $54,054 per vehicle (we don’t have enough information to calculate that)
Or you take the “The purchase comes months after USPS announced a plan to spend $9.6 billion on its next generation of mail delivery trucks, of which at least 66,000 are planned to be electric vehicles. “
Note that it doesn’t say how many delivery trucks in total - it says 66,000 will be electric, but doesn’t say how many will be non-electric
If we assume that total number of vehicles is 100,000 (just a number I chose, there is zero indication in the article), then it is $96,000 per vehicle - whether electric or not. but this doesn’t account for the charging stations.
That makes sense. Thanks!
