I suspect there is a high level of variance in both the length of different routes and the availability of power in parking areas for mail trucks.

- Robotbeat 6y agoGrumman LLVs only have a 120 mile range. This is already double. And sure, maybe you’ll want an RV style outlet (also pretty cheap) in case of 5% of vehicles where 120V wouldn’t be enough.
- TylerE 6y agoThe LLV can refuel in 5 minutes at over 160,000 public locations.
- Dylan16807 6y agoIt sure can! That's also much much more flexibility than it needs. For a low-mileage fleet vehicle it's deep into diminishing returns.
- noneeeed 6y agoAs I pointed out in another thread about these vehicals, the USPS still operates mule trains, hovercraft and helicopters for some deliveries. That's the most extreme examples, and I imagine there are many journeys that are somewhere between in terms of range and difficulty. People have a very narrow view of the world and forget that not everywhere is urban or suburban, or even just farming country levels of density. The USPS has to service them all.
