Trump aims to cancel contracts for new EVs for the US Postal Service, but the postmaster general says he defends its electrification plans and won’t return any funding for EVs – unless Congress forces the issue, of course.

    DeJoy actually defending the EV purchase and not just taking whatever Trump demands? What?

      Nah DeJoy just wants to make sure that when he succeeds in privatizing and selling the USPS off to his buddies that he can sweeten the pot with a brand new fleet.

      Wait. Biden was president for four years and DeJoy is still running the Postal Service? What in the actual fuck?

        Iirc he replaced the board that had the power to appoint a new post master but then I guess just never pressured them to actually do it, or they ignored him.

      They already put their order in, largely because the hybrid ones kinda suck (even though Dejoy pushed them hard). Now he’s trying to save face given Biden effectively forced his hand.

        Don’t ya just love it when someone does the right thing, but only because they were coerced forced to do it?
