Overview:
Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

How so?
Because the old vehicles are from the 90s and are massive pieces of shit?
According to Wikipedia, the Grumman LLV was in production from 1986—1994... Which seems kinda wild to me in 2025.
Also according to Wikipedia, when used for mail delivery, its average fuel economy is 8.2—10 mpg 😬
Yeah, that's quite an improvement for the company. How do the new ones improve the life of mail carriers specifically?
They have AC
They're also tall enough to stand in for many folks which is a huge plus.
Thank you.
Air conditioning?
Much better cargo capacity and organization?
Why are you asking me, I'm the one that asked it in the first place.
Those were obviously rhetorical question marks.
The information you're pretending to be interested in is readily available in the article above and elsewhere.
From OC:
emphasis mine.
You're acting like it is obvious what they heard, and I shouldn't ask for details of what looks like first hand reports of usage of the new vehicles.
So go fuck yourselves and the high horses you rode in on.
Just FYI a comment isn't an article, you gotta click on the link at the top of the page and read the article, which is what he's suggesting you read. That's where you can find the details.
I cannot make it any clearer: I am interested in @AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 's account. He said he heard opinions about the new cars, I suppose it's from drivers. I'd love to hear more. From AceFuzzLord. Or did they write the article?
He read it in the article that was posted is what we’re all saying. Why don’t you read it? That’s what his comment was referring to, because he commented on the article. Hope this helps!
Strong words from someone who can't open an article to confirm.
Weak words from someone with 2nd grade reading comprehension.
their old grumman LLV's are inefficient, cramped, HOT AS FUCK (no climate control you get a fan lol) that were harder and harder to keep on the road after nearly 4 decades of work. also, a tremendous amount of 'postal work' is not letters, but now packages - and these vehicles can't hold much compared to the new ones.
Thank you.
