Don't forget that they held open bidding to build this new electric fleet and they wound up choosing a company affiliated with the Postmaster that has never built an electric vehicle before who immediately pivoted to building a high efficiency gas truck instead.

To be fair, the "second" option is a 150 person company which retired its truck after producing 40 because it didn't meet customer specs.

So no idea who came in third, or what their product would look like.

There is a struggling excellent electric power train and battery maker that pretends it can assemble cars as well, on the market who would be the perfect fit for whoever to make them electric instead.
