Somebody got rich on that deal. They always do on these government contracts that never go anywhere.

All that crap along with the California choo-choo are money laundering schemes.

That’s only 40 million per truck. Pretty good for government work.

$1.7 Billion/250 vehicles = $6.8 Million per vehicle.

Seems like a bargain to save Mother Earth.

Wonder if we can get China to agree with this kind of math.

How is Biden’s project to electrify our Main Battle Tanks going? Have they figured out how to set up charging stations under Russian drone coverage? Maybe solar panels for camouflage?

Was this concept ever even tried? Say, Phoenix, and Fargo. I’m not persuaded these rechargeables would work for this application. Possibly Golf Carts for certain routes. Maybe.

How about the The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) passed in 2021 that funneled $8 billion to build 500,000 EV charging stations across the US. So far, 8 charging stations have been built.

Like Solyndra it was never feasible or possible ... it was a payoff to donors.

Between the USPS and the Transportation Administration, that’s $16B for 250 trucks and 1 charging station.

$10 billion with 250 trucks built? Someone needs to launch a criminal investigation into this spending. Seriously. Everyone seems way to willing to let massive spending with no results go. The money was not burned. Someone got it to do something and they didn’t do it.
