The United States Postal Service has ordered six right-hand-drive electric vans from EV startup Canoo, as part of its efforts to explore commercial-off-the-shelf electric delivery vehicles for its fleet upgrade. The Canoo LDV 190 offers 200 miles of range, a 79.0-kilowatt-hour battery pack, and a cargo hold capable of carrying up to 1,624 pounds of mail. The USPS plans to evaluate the performance of these vans, with potential for more orders in the future, while also dealing with delays in the delivery of upgraded mail trucks from Oshkosh Defense.
