"A Tesla Model 3 gets 4miles per kWh"
At cruising speed, I assume? Delivery is going to be radically worse, because it has a ton of start and stop operation, the worst case for consumption.
You also seem to be spec'ing what it looks like for a post office to recharge one vehicle. What about dozens, plural? A current post office needs only marginally greater power than a residence. Charging dozens of electric vehicles is going to need more than that.
- antattack 6y ago10 vehicles, charged for 8 hours would draw 234Amps of current. About as much as single residential drop. Some houses even have 400Amp panels. Given that USPS fleet would be upgraded over number of years - power delivery is really not a problem.
