Electric van manufacturer Canoo announced a highly visible deal with the United States Postal Service (USPS), which will see the USPS acquire a handful of right-hand drive versions of the company’s LDV 190 delivery van.

Canoo announced that the USPS will purchase six (6) battery-electric Canoo vehicles. In its official press release, the company said that it was “honored” to participate in the post office’s evaluation of potential suppliers as the USPS moves towards the “groundbreaking electrification and modernization” of its national delivery fleet.

      He tried to buy like 10% electric vehicles, but suddenly shifted course one day to 75% electric, with a commitment to go electric only after 2028.

      With all the public pressure, I think some conversations occurred off the books from the biden admin that “corrected” that 90% ICE choice.
