In July 2022, it estimated that at least 40 percent of its new purchases would be electric, and in December, it said it was exploring the “feasibility of achieving 100% electrification.” The agency says that it expects to invest around $9.6 billion into the initiative and expects pretty much every vehicle it buys after 2026 to be electric. https://www.theverge.com/2023/3/1/23620658/usps-ford-transit-ev-electrification-goals-off-the-shelf https://www.theverge.com/2023/3/1/23620658/usps-ford-transit...
