The USPS fleet is easily one of the best fits for EVs: Predictable routes, predictable miles, easy to schedule/coordinate charging, and constant stop and go with low speeds, which is perfect for regenerative braking (sends power back to the battery.)

This will have a positive impact on climate change, and reduce air pollution, noise pollution, and save money in the long run on fuel and maintenance.

Biden (and Podesta)- getting it done again. This is what a desire to govern and make things better can result in - progress. A willingness to cooperate and negotiate is crucial, of course.

Lots of people pushed back hard on the initial USPS plan keep things as they were. Thanks to everyone who pushed back.

@TonyStark As much good stuff as you send out, I’m surprised not to have come across you on Twitter before HeWhoMustNotBeNamed took over.

@Kansascityfish Ah. Thanks! Well, I left there a few years ago. I wasn’t the biggest fan of Dorsey Twitter and came to try Mastodon on the advice of a friend. I ended up running this small instance and just didn’t have time for both.

Looking at where hellbird has gone, I don’t regret it!

@TonyStark my thought originally was to try to recreate what I had on Twit. Now I see possibilities for something much better. Thanks for adding so much to the content!
