The United States Postal Service unveiled its first set of electric vehicle charging stations at its South Atlanta Sorting and Delivery Center.
Charging stations like these, manufactured by Seimens, will be installed at hundreds of new Centers across the country throughout the year and will power what will be the nation’s largest EV fleet.
USPS plans on procuring a total of 21,000 EVs — including 9,250 from Ford — depending on market availability and operational feasibility.

As it does every year, my report takes an in-depth look at the wholesale used vehicle market, as well as some of the important factors driving the fleet industry.
I’m somewhat encouraged by what I am seeing and feeling across the industry - although certainly not by everything.
While I’d be hard pressed to predict a return to pre-pandemic glory days, there are several positive movements in the market.
The US Treasury’s EV charger tax credit is limited to $1,000 for individuals claiming for home EV charging and $100,000 – up from $30,000 – for business properties. That came into effect on January 1, 2023.
The IRS’s latest guidance is about how in order to qualify for the 30C EV charging tax credit, individuals and businesses need to be in an “eligible census tract.” The IRS defines an eligible census tract as “any population census tract that qualifies as a low-income community or that is not an urban area.”
