We recently participated in a free webinar hosted by CALSTART, featuring USPS’s zero-emission trucks electrified by Motiv. We are proud to have partnered up with USPS to deploy seven all-electric trucks in the Central Valley of California, home to some of the worst air quality in the nation.
We are also happy to report Motiv’s USPS trucks have driven over 24,000 miles and are still en route today, delivering mail and other essential items to customers.

After viewing the webinar online, it seems that a significant obstacle for the USPS is the charging infrastructure required. Existing facilities are generally not prepared for the power requirement or the physical space required. Does Motiv think that lack of infractructure will be a problem in selling vehicles? Do you see any changes in investments coming from the government or electric utilities? Do you make the argument that the lower cost of EVs (fuel, maintenance) will eventually pay for the investment in charging infrastructure? Thanks for any insight,
