Was shocked to hear that the Postal Service gets an average of 7 MPG in the delivery of mail.
At first, I couldn’t see how those little jeeps can be so poorly designed, and then I realized that the average daily use is 28 miles with 500 stops over a span of several hours, during which the engine is running 100% of the time (and hardly going anywhere).. Duh, it’s a no brainer to switch that to EV’s! Yes, the range would suffer since the AC would be running all the time, but heck, the existing vehicles don’t even have AC! The original thought of this post was the tremendous market for even simple CONVERSIONS of those jeeps to simple EV’s, with the cost paid for in real time by the gas savings… Till I realized that 18 miles a day also is only 5500 miles a year, but still, at 7 MPG that is $2700 a year… Bob, WB4APR -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
