ELECTRIC VEHICLES

Nice News - A special delivery is coming to the streets: Earlier this year, the U.S. Postal Service debuted its much-anticipated electric vehicles in Athens, Georgia. And so far, it seems the wait has been worth it.
​
The new vehicles will replace 30-year-old mail trucks that have a reputation for being noisy, smelly, and gas-guzzling, getting just 9 mpg. They also don’t have many safety features, ample room for drivers to stand, or air conditioning. On the flip side, the updated trucks tick all the boxes, as they’re quieter, more spacious, loaded with modern safety features, and, perhaps most importantly for drivers, equipped with air conditioning.
​
“I promise you, it felt like heaven blowing in my face,” postal worker Avis Stonum told the Associated Press. Another driver said a roomier ride helps him avoid back problems from crouching. While the EVs are just in Georgia for now, keep an eye out for them in your neighborhood soon: They’ll be rolled out across the country within the next few years, and they’re definitely hard to miss.
