Trump Considers Scrapping USPS Electric Vehicle Contracts
TL;DR Summary
President-elect Donald Trump's transition team is reportedly considering canceling the U.S. Postal Service's contracts with Ford and Oshkosh for electrifying its delivery fleet. This move, which could be announced early in Trump's administration, would face legal challenges due to the USPS's governing board. The USPS plans to purchase 66,000 electric vehicles by 2028, supported by a $3 billion congressional allocation in 2023. Trump's team is also considering ending a $7500 consumer tax credit for electric vehicle purchases.
