The USPS electric vehicle rollout is a case study in government waste. The FY2025 GSA budget allocates $XX million for electric fleet transitions, but when you break down the per-unit costs, it's clear why taxpayers are furious. Private sector EV production—like Tesla's Cybertruck at $80k—proves efficient scaling is possible.

Yet bureaucratic procurement processes and union-mandated customizations balloon costs. This isn't about clean energy; it's about contractors milking the system. The Postal Service's own audit found XX% of routes could be served by existing commercial EV models at 1/10th the price.

Until we slash red tape and mandate off-the-shelf solutions, these boondoggles will keep draining wallets.
