The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) has avoided a major disruption to its electric vehicle (EV) plans after the Senate parliamentarian ruled that Senate Republicans cannot use a sweeping tax and budget bill to force the agency to eliminate its EV fleet and charging infrastructure.
The decision, announced late Sunday, blocks efforts to derail the USPS’s growing transition to electric transportation. Currently, USPS operates 7,200 electric vehicles, which include Ford e-Transit vans and custom-built Next Generation Delivery Vehicles (NGDVs) manufactured by Oshkosh Defense.
On June 13, USPS warned that dismantling its EV program would result in a financial setback of approximately $1.5 billion. That includes $1 billion in costs to replace the electric fleet and an additional $500 million tied to now-obsolete EV charging infrastructure.
The ruling is a win for the Biden administration’s push to modernize federal fleets with cleaner energy alternatives. USPS plays a key role in that strategy as one of the nation’s largest vehicle operators.
The decision is expected to help USPS maintain momentum in expanding its EV fleet and infrastructure across the country, aligning with broader federal goals for sustainability and emissions reduction. It also avoids the logistical and financial chaos that would result from rolling back EV deployments already underway.
As electric vehicle adoption accelerates nationwide, USPS’s ongoing transition represents a major test case for large-scale government electrification. This ruling ensures the agency can stay on course without politically driven interruptions embedded in unrelated legislation.
