The U.S. Postal Service is not capturing some savings possible through incentive programs related to electric vehicles in its initiative to further electrify its delivery fleet and install charging stations at hundreds of its facilities through 2028, an inspector general audit has said.
The USPS “has opportunities to leverage a wide range of financial incentives (from government agencies, utility companies, and carbon markets) that encourage the transition to electric vehicles . . . it is essential for the Postal Service to capture cost savings as it executes its strategies to further strengthen the financial sustainability of this critical public service,” it said.
