The United States Postal Service is aiming to acquire at least 66,000 battery electric delivery vehicles by 2028– playing its part in reducing emissions. All new vehicles acquired by the postal service from 2026 through 2028 are expected to be 100% electric.
The postal service plans to acquire 60,000 "next generation delivery vehicles" – at least 75% of which will be battery electric – plus an additional 21,000 battery electric commercial vehicles off the shelf, depending on availability, according to a news release.
The USPS currently has more than 220,000 old vehicles in its fleet and delivers to 163 million addresses, six days per week.
