Not that weird when you consider that purchasing EVs also means purchasing and deploying the infrastructure to charge them. That’s not a small operation for a service area that includes every single address in the United States of America.

My area's utility has the funding to place them all over the state. This would have been a good opportunity to cooperate and pilot the system here.
Fair, but would you prefer that money be spent assisting USPS with a pilot program which won’t necessarily be useful nationwide or assisting people and businesses who live in your area to switch to electric cars themselves?
Both because the program is so large it could accomplish this. Truthfully, the feds should fund this.
Whichever offsets the most fossil fuel usage.
