Biden’s Green Dream of EV Postal Truck Fleet Is a $10 Billion Failure
When kicking off the boondoggle “Green New Deal” project, one Biden climate advisor described it as “the Biden climate strategy on wheels.” True, that.

Using the 2022 “Inflation Reduction Act” as cover for the progressive “Green New Deal,” the Biden administration funded a plan that aimed to eliminate gasoline-powered delivery trucks and deploy tens of thousands of battery-electric mail trucks by 2028.

And, like so many initiatives linked to Biden, it ended in complete failure. Republicans in Congress are working to claw-back the remaining monies.

The nearly $10 billion project — which called for more than 35,000 battery-powered US Postal Service (USPS) vehicles to be completed by September 2028 — was funded in part by $3 billion in funding from former President Joe Biden’s 2022 Inflation Reduction Act.


As of this month, the project is well behind schedule despite taxpayers forking over $1.7 billion — prompting Capitol Hill Republicans to try to rescind the remaining nearly $1.3 billion earmarked from the IRA.

So, they were going to pay over $100,000/vehicle? :pondering:

Write it off as a sunk cost, and stop digging the hole.
