Keep in mind that the USPS’s largest three customers are UPS, FedEx and Amazon. And while they do discount to these three companies (more than they should IMO) they are still the USPS biggest revenue generators. Without them, the USPS would be an even bigger money loser.
And the costs to ship via UPS or FedEx reflect this partnership. If the USPS were to stop carrying packages “the last mile” for them and Amazon, shipping costs through them would be substantially higher.
And I can’t think of a better application fir EV’s than this. Back in the same lot every night after probably less then 100 miles a day. Perfect.
