thought the government was mandating EVs? Is this some corrupt Louis DeJoy deal?

  "The vehicles will be equipped with either fuel-efficient internal combustion engines or battery electric powertrains and can be retrofitted to keep pace with advances in electric vehicle technologies. The initial investment includes plant tooling and build-out for the U.S. manufacturing facility where final vehicle assembly will occur."

  Yes this violates the EV EO and will likely be overturned before any vehicles are delivered. Biden just nominated 3 new members to the postal board; meaning DeJoy is on the way out sooner rather than later.

    According to Wired, the EO likely has little weight to it, and is essentially symbolic. https://www.wired.com/story/biden-wants-government-run-evs-not-easy/ https://www.wired.com/story/biden-wants-government-run-evs-n...

    I think Biden’s order only applies to government owned vehicles and the PO is a weird quasi-in-between entity. Not really private, not really government.
