President Biden announced that he would like to replace the government fleet of over 600,000 vehicles with EV's.

The Post Office has over 200,000 vehicles that travel 1.3 billion miles per year. Of those, 140,000 are the LLV (long life vehicle) that you see on the street every day. They were designed with a service life of 24 years. The oldest LLV's have been operating for 32 years with the newest being just 24 years. In 2009, the cash strapped Post Office extended the LLV service life to 30 years.

These LLV's are powered by a 2.5L GM "Iron Duke" engine, automatic transmission, two wheel drive and no air conditioning. They get 16 mpg city, 18 mpg highway and 17 mpg average. On the typical delivery route with 400 stops they average about 10 mpg.

The shortest delivery route is Parker Colorado, 2.3 miles with 837 boxes. The longest is Sidney Montana, 190 miles with 272 boxes. The lowest is Death Valley at 282 feet below sea level and the highest is Alma Colorado at 10,578 feet....
