Deep dive review here on the new all-electric postal delivery vans, coming soon to (most of) your neighborhoods.
Very excited my drive report on an important new #EV is now live. This was in the works for a while after Oshkosh was kind enough to let us drive a very early prototype of their Next Generation Delivery Vehicle.
You'll soon see these throughout the U.S. as USPS renews its aged fleet. Watch for 'em!
