Agreed.

Here is the base of my opposition: Not because they are EV vehicles.

It is because it is an emotional and political decision, not an analysis by people who have looked at the pros and cons.

This

is being pushed by people shouting "WE NEED TO DO THIS NOW BECAUSE IT IS A ONCE-IN-A-GENERATION OPPORTUNITY!"

They don't care if it is a good or bad decision. If it is a good decision, they all get to bask in the warm glow of having done their part at pushing the "Green" agenda another few inches up the slope.

If it is a bad decision-no big deal. Nobody is going to lose their job.

• They will just ask for more money to fix the issues.
  
  
• Ask for more money to build new EV charging stations.
  
  
• Ask more money to upgrade the vehicle fleet to new electronics or batteries that work better.

That is what I am against. This is largely being pushed by Leftists with an agenda. I don't doubt that there are non-Leftists who would ask the appropriate questions and if left to their own methods and devices, would make a reasonable decision.

But the fact that they are going with the decision to acquire fewer EV in the face of screaming threats from The White House makes me certain I do see this in the right light.

It is political, not technical. Admin is wanting more EV’s. USPS is saying give us more money.
