The average rural USPS route is 45 miles. Non-rural routes are closer to 20 miles. Low average speed (lots of stop and go) means they would likely beat what we are used to for EV energy usage per mile. A 30kWh battery could probably handle most use cases even accounting for range loss in cold weather. Edit: Also the USPS estimates the new gas-powered trucks will get ~8 miles per gallon with the A/C on, and ~14 miles per gallon with it off. That would make your estimate closer to $16 per 300mi for the EV and $64-$112 per 300mi for the gas truck. |
