Seems like y'all would have home generators if the power goes out so often that you're afraid to have an EV. Maybe some solar panels would help, since it's the sunshine state.

A/C? A/C?? No, this is not a "When I was a boy!..." non-post. BUT-- with USPS being largely a parcel post operation these days, A/C??? The rule used to be, and I'm pretty sure still is, if (your) vehicle is within your line of sight, you can leave it open and unlocked. Wheels curbed, engine OFF(!), keys out of the ignition (in your hand), as you dash up to the addressee's door, etc, etc... With the giant window open for regular mail delivery, and the door opened every other stop for parcel post delivery, A/C always used to be considered superfluous. And, it kinda was.

DeJoy has got to go. He was put in place to dismantle & destroy the service. If that's no longer the mission, cut him loose. There is always a process to get the cuttin' done, and there is no Eternal PMG.

Totally agree. This has been a learning experience for most if not all of us.

That's really what it comes down to in both transition to EVs and DeJoy's motivations, isn't it?
