After initially ordering just 5,000 all-electric models of its next-gen postal truck, the USPS has now doubled that number to just over 10,000 vehicles.
The USPS is moving forward with plans to spend $11.3 billion on a fleet of next-generation mail trucks that mostly run on gas, despite requests from the EPA and Biden administration to electrify its new vehicles instead.
The US EPA has reached a settlement with Tesla after the agency found that the automaker violated the Clean Air Act at its factory in Fremont, California.
President Biden is signing an order that aims to make half of all new vehicles sold zero-emissions capable by 2030, including pure EVs and plug-in hybrids.
That would give the car a longer range than other compact electric sedans out there, most notable of which is Tesla’s Model 3. Unfortunately, Polestar 2’s actual range is much shorter than what the company expected.
Tesla has announced that it’s 2020 Model S Long-Range Plus is now EPA rated for 402 miles, cracking a significant psychological range barrier for electric vehicles.
