Biden’s $3B Electric Postal Truck Initiative Gets SHUT DOWN – Goal of 55,000 electric postal trucks turned into ‘only 93 vehicles’ being delivered

Car Coach Reports: Here’s another waste of government money, this time it’s a $3B contract for 55,000 electric postal trucks — enough to replace a quarter of the USPS fleet — and big shock – only 93 vehicles have been delivered. But this seems to be par-for-the-course for any government EV initiative. Now two prominent lawmakers are introducing the “Return to Sender Act” to rescind $3 billion allocated under the Biden administration’s “Inflation Reduction Act” — a 2022 law sold as an inflation fix but packed with green energy funding — for the U.S. Postal Service’s (USPS) electric vehicle (EV) initiative. This move comes amid concerns over production delays and escalating costs associated with the program. Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA) and Representative Michael Cloud (R-TX) are seeking to reclaim $3 billion earmarked for establishing an electric vehicle fleet for the United States Postal Service under former President Joe Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act. The two Republican lawmakers, members of the Congressional DOGE Caucus (Delivering Outstanding Government Efficiency) — a new group hunting government waste and overseeing the Department of Government Efficiency (also DOGE) — are set to introduce legislation to claw back the Biden-era funding.
