I’m not gonna take your word for it. Gonna need a source showing the EV’s were well received and performing as expected.

Even when provided with a source, people like you will still find a way to move the goal posts. GTFO.

People like you (and me honestly) revel in linking sources when they have them. So you don’t have one. Just pulled this out of your ass.

You're still here? I said GTFO

Nope, people like you are here to nitpick because they made up their mind already but want to "um achtschually" between coughing up phlegma and ruining their lives. Because the benefits of these are well known and there's plenty of info on the internet about it. So by all means, keep being "that guy" and asking everyone around to google search common knowledge for you

I’m asking for the source because I haven’t made up my mind, and I like to see the data first hand. The exact opposite of your accusation.

Wtf would be the point of asking for a source if the data wouldn’t make a difference?

If you hadn't made up your mind, all you had to do is google "do mailmen like the new usps trucks" and you would get articles like:

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/26/us/usps-new-mail-trucks.html

So by all means, nitpick away, I wonder how long it will take you to start complaining about the source

The Deutsche Post developed their own EV because there wasn't something suitable on the market. They have now switched to a a modified version of a Ford E Transit.

Oh yeah, I forgot that’s only allowed when someone questions a widely accepted status quo. If a claim supports widely held beliefs, it’s foolish to question.

I hope this is a kid commenting, because this is some real high school shit.
