The Senate version of the repubilcans’ tax bill won’t just add trillions of dollars to the deficit through a massive giveaway to wealthy elites, it will also take the US Postal Service’s awesome new EVs and sell them off for pennies on the dollar, wasting money simply out of spite for vehicles that were already cleaning your air and making your community safer.

Update: The Senate parliamentarian has ruled that the body can’t force USPS to scrap these EVs, at least not without a 60-vote supermajority.

The Postal Service has used the same Grumman LLV vehicles for decades, produced from 1986-1994. So, some of these trucks are nearly 40 years old, and all of them are at least 30 years old.

The vehicles are showing their age – they get poor mileage, they break down often (or catch fire, as about 100 of the old gas guzzlers did last year), they emit significant pollution, and they have poor ergonomics.

So, in 2015, the USPS started the process of finding a replacement.

After many bids and back-and-forth (including startups going out of business), the USPS, led by Postmaster Louis DeJoy, picked Oshkosh’s “Next Generation Delivery Vehicle” (NGDV) as the next postal vehicle (DeJoy, who was apparently not corrupt enough for the republicans, was forced out of his position in March and replaced by David Steiner, a board member of FedEx, a company that stands to benefit from republican attempts to hobble the USPS).

The NGDV is being built in a new Oshkosh facility in Spartanburg, South Carolina, hiring 1,000 additional employees in the area.

The vehicle has a goofy look to it, but it’s a goofy look for a reason.

The large window gives exceptional visibility, meaning the kids and pets that are likely to occupy residential areas are easier to see, and thus easier for drivers to avoid.

The low hood further enhances safety, by reducing damage done to a human body in a crash (unlike the land yachts which are so popular with consumers and have contributed to pedestrian deaths reaching all-time highs).

And the tall roof makes it easier for drivers to enter and exit, reducing strain on their bodies which means lower labor costs overall – less injury, drivers potentially being able to stay in their jobs longer, and so on.

But that’s just talking about the look of the vehicle – there are even more beneficial features, like much more cargo space, driver assistance safety features (around-view cameras, blind spot monitors and collision sensors), and air conditioning, something the original LLVs lacked (and which is only becoming more necessary as the planet heats up).

As for powertrain, the NGDV is available in both gas and electric options, with the gas version getting a paltry 8.6mpg (similar to the old LLVs), but the electric version being naturally much more efficient.

Electrification is a perfect choice for most delivery vehicles. These vehicles do set daily routes with lots of starting and stopping, in neighborhoods where people live and breathe, and return back to the same place every night. It’s an ideal application for EVs, for the vast majority of rotues.

Higher efficiency electric drive means money savings on fuel and maintenance for most routes. Overall, a highly electrified fleet was estimated to save taxpayers $4.3 billion over its lifetime.

But perhaps the most obvious benefit of electric mail trucks is the lack of pollution in the places where people spend most of their time: at home. (I don’t know about you, but my mail carrier’s broken truck stinks up the place every day, forcing me to close the windows as it fails to start half the time – and I’m pretty sure this is a common experience)

Despite these benefits, at first, USPS planned to buy only 10% EVs, with the remainder being gas. But after that announcement, several entities (including Electrek) pointed out that even by USPS’ uncharitable calculations, EVs would save money for the vast majority of routes (and that’s not considering health and environmental benefits).

Thankfully, reason prevailed over time, and the USPS gradually increased its plan such that it eventually said it would buy only electric trucks after 2026, with relatively few gas trucks acquired before then for the few routes that electric isn’t suitable for. It’s also supplementing those purchases with some off-the-shelf Ford E-Transits to function as delivery vehicles, with fewer custom features but an easier rollout as E-Transits are readily available.

The NGDV has suffered delays, but as the truck has finally started to roll out, it’s been enormously popular. When the truck started use last year in Atlanta, drivers immediately loved it. They loved the new features, better safety, and less stress on their bodies.

Republicans move to undo these improvements, wasting taxpayer dollars

And so, of course, republicans are now threatening this unequivocally good thing in a way that’s only going to cost taxpayers more money and ensure that your mail costs, the pollution you breathe in your home and the danger to your neighborhood all increase.

As reported by the Washington Post, Senate republicans are considering a version of the tax bill that would auction off these vehicles, at pennies on the dollar, seemingly simply out of spite for the program.

As usual, republican justifications for the billions of dollars in waste they’re proposing don’t stand up to even the slightest amount of scrutiny.

Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) stated that the plan “aims to cut unnecessary costs and focus USPS on delivering mail and not achieving the environmental initiatives pushed by the Biden Administration.”

But Paul ought to know this is false, because he’s part of the Senate, the body that approved spending for these vehicles in the first place in 2022 (and, if you remember your high school civics class as Paul apparently does not, the Senate is not part of the “Biden Administration”). Nor is the USPS directly part of any presidential administration, since it is an independent federal agency, and during the bidding process was headed by Louis DeJoy, who was appointed during one Mr. Donald Trump’s first stint squatting in the White House.

Paul should also know that the bidding process started in 2015, and thus that the majority of it occurred while nobody named Biden was in the White House in the first place.

He also ought to know that most of that money is already spent, and selling off items the USPS already owns for pennies on the dollar doesn’t “save” anyone any money. Neither does having to buy all new gas vehicles, with higher fueling and maintenance costs, to replace them – this is the very definition of “unnecessary costs.”

(Update: In another lesson to Rand Paul about how the Senate works, the Senate Parliamentarian said that his USPS plan would require a 60-vote supermajority… but Congress has violated that rule recently anyway)

Worse, falling back to the old LLVs and/or restarting the bidding process for their replacement would take more time and cause more waste. And in the interim we’d be stuck with these “obsolete” vehicles (as the USPS itself calls them) which, as covered above, are inefficient, unsafe, lack features, and routinely catch fire. All of this gets in the way of the focus on delivering mail.

So, Paul is either lying or stupid, but given the letter after his name, we’re pretty sure it’s both.

The USPS rightly pointed out what a stupid idea this is, stating “The funds realized by auctioning the vehicles and infrastructure would be negligible. Much of infrastructure is literally buried under parking lots, and there is no market for used charging equipment” (hmm, tearing out charging equipment for no benefit at all? where have we heard that before…). It said this action “will seriously cripple our ability to replace an aging and obsolete delivery fleet.”

The service estimates that scrapping the 7,200 vehicles it already owns and is using would waste $1 billion, and tearing out infrastructure would cost $500 million, for a total pricetag of $1.5 billion worth of unnecessary waste – and this only accounts for money already spent, not the additional several billions in lost savings for Americans from lower fuel, labor, health and environmental costs.

USPS urged the Senate “to pause and consider the substantial harm this proposal would cause to the Postal Service and our customers, your constituents.”

But, given the republican party’s current direction, maybe that exhortation would backfire. Harm seems to be precisely what they want, as reflected in everything they’re doing these days.

If you do happen to be one of those constituents, particularly in a republican state, it might be worth giving your Senator a call and asking them to stop wasting your money and raising your mail costs by selling off money-saving vehicles that promise to clean the air of your community. Here’s where you can find your Senator’s contact info. This might be of particular interest to South Carolina Senators Lindsey Graham, (D.C. office phone (202) 224-5972, email form here) and Tim Scott (D.C. office phone (202) 224-6121, email form here), whose vote would kill jobs in their state, where the trucks are being built.

Update: There will be a House subcommittee hearing at 1PM EDT today, dealing with USPS issues as a whole, in which the EVs may or may not be mentioned. You can watch that hearing here: The Route Forward for the U.S. Postal Service: A View from Stakeholders

Among republicans’ proposed cuts is the rooftop solar credit. That means you could have only until the end of this year to install rooftop solar on your home, before republicans raise the cost of doing so by an average of ~$10,000. So if you want to go solar, get started now, because these things take time and the system needs to be active before you file for the credit.

5,000 electric Mercedes vans join Amazon’s delivery fleet

Mercedes-Benz is sending nearly 5,000 electric vans to Amazon’s European delivery partners in its biggest EV handoff to date. The fleet will hit the streets in five countries in the coming months.

Three-quarters of the fleet are Mercedes’ larger eSprinter vans, while the rest are the more compact eVito panel vans. More than 2,500 are going to Germany, and Amazon says this new EV fleet will help deliver more than 200 million parcels a year across Europe.

This is the biggest EV order Mercedes-Benz Vans has ever received. It builds on a partnership that started in 2020, when Amazon first added more than 1,800 electric vans from Mercedes to its delivery network.

“We’re further intensifying our long-standing relationship with Amazon and working together toward an all-electric future of transport,” said Sagree Sardien, head of sales & marketing at Mercedes-Benz Vans. “Our eVito and eSprinter are perfectly tailored to meet the demands of our commercial customers regarding efficiency and range.”

In 2020, Mercedes-Benz joined Amazon’s Climate Pledge, a commitment Amazon co-founded with Global Optimism to reach net zero by 2040.

Both the eSprinter and eVito are designed with delivery drivers in mind. With batteries tucked into the underbody, the vans offer unrestricted cargo space. Both come standard with the MBUX multimedia system, which supports the integration of automatic charging stops and Mercedes’ public charging network via navigation.

Safety and comfort got upgrades, too. New driver assistance features come standard, and the Amazon vans are customized with shelves and a sliding door between the cabin and cargo area for easy parcel access.

The eVito vans, which were built at Mercedes’ plant in Vitoria, Spain, are ideal for last-mile urban deliveries. They come in 60 kWh or 90 kWh battery options, with peak motor outputs of either 85 kW or 150 kW, and can travel up to 480 km (298 miles) on a full charge.

Meanwhile, the eSprinter is the all-rounder for range and loading volume. Built in Düsseldorf, it comes in two lengths and three battery sizes, with a range of up to 484 km (300 miles). It boasts up to 14 cubic meters of cargo space and can handle a gross weight of up to 4.25 tonnes.

BYD is flooding Europe with new EVs faster than any other carmaker has

BYD is flooding Europe with new EVs faster than any other carmaker has

BYD-EVs-Europe

It already outsold Tesla in the UK and Europe, but this could be just the start. BYD said it’s launching new vehicles, including EVs, faster than any carmaker in Europe has done so far.

BYD goes all in on Europe with new EVs, PHEVs

BYD took the spotlight earlier this month after launching its most affordable EV in Europe so far. The Dolphin Surf, a rebadged version of the Seagull EV sold in China, starts at just £18,650 (just over $25,000) in the UK.

At a UK launch event, Alfredo Altavilla, BYD’s special advisor for Europe, said (via Autocar) the “Dolphin Surf was the missing piece in the A/B-segment.”

It will compete with entry-level EVs, such as the Dacia Spring, the UK’s cheapest EV, which starts at £14,995 ($20,000).

Yet, the low-cost Dolphin Surf is only one piece of BYD’s master plan. “We have been launching six cars in less than a year,” Altavilla explained, adding, “We are covering all of the most important segments of the European car market.”

Altavilla even boasted that, “I have zero problem in saying I don’t think there has ever been such a product offensive done in Europe as the one BYD is doing.”

Although BYD is best known for its low-cost EVs, like the Seagull, which starts under $10,000 in China, the auto giant is quickly expanding into new segments.

BYD sells luxury vehicles under the Denza Yangwang brands. Denza is BYD’s answer to Porsche and other German luxury brands. Meanwhile, Yangwang is an ultra-luxury brand that will serve as BYD’s tech beacon.

According to Altavilla, this could be just the start. “We’re going to get together again after the summer break for another important reveal, and through the end of the year, there will be others,” BYD’s special advisor for Europe said.

BYD is set to begin production at its new plant in Hungary by the end of the year, enabling the company to customize vehicles for buyers in the region.

“As we go forward into 2026, more and more of the BYD line-up will be specific to this region,” Altavilla explained.

In separate news, BYD announced on Monday that its “Xi’an” car carrier is loaded and ready to ship off to the UK, Italy, Spain, Belgium, and other countries, carrying about 7,000 EVs and PHEVs.

Electrek’s Take

In what was called a “watershed moment,” BYD registered more vehicles in Europe than Tesla for the first time in April.

It also had more vehicle registrations in the UK than Tesla last month, with the Seal U taking the top spot for the most popular plug-in hybrid.

With the Dolphin Surf arriving, local production set to come online later this year, and several new models on the way, BYD is laying the groundwork to capture its share of the European auto market.

According to S&P Global Mobility forecasts, BYD is expected to more than double its sales in Europe this year, with around 186,000 vehicles sold. By 2029, BYD’s sales could double again to around 400,000. Between its plants in Hungary and Turkey, China’s EV leader is expected to have a combined capacity of 500,000 units.

Get up to 65% off Jackery power stations in early Prime Day Sale access with bonus + trade-in savings, more from $89

Jackery has launched its early Prime Day Sale pricing through July 7, with up to 65% being taken off power stations, alongside extra sitewide savings, trade-in savings, flash sales, and select member-only discounts. Among the lineup, one of the best and most expansive solar generator bundles is Jackery’s Explorer 2000 Plus Power Station with two 200W panels at $1,709.05 shipped, after using the promo code EXTRA5 at checkout for an additional 5% off. Normally you’d be shelling out $3,099 for this package at full price, which we mostly see brought down to $1,899 during sales these days, though it did fall lower to $1,799 in the earlier months of 2025. We have seen this bundle go as low as $1,673 with extra savings in a 3-day flash sale back in February, but it hasn’t come back around since, with the deal here landing as the second-lowest price we have tracked, saving you $1,390 and beating its Amazon pricing by $190.

As this is Jackery’s early Prime Day Sale, there are some additional savings options that are worth mentioning while the event continues. First off, the code EXTRA5 can be used at checkout to score an additional 5% savings on your order, with some models even offering larger on-page 7% off coupons. There’s also a trade-in offer that can give you up to $830 off a new model after trading in your old one, and special pricing on select units for members (sign up is free).

One of Jackery’s most expansive backup power solutions, which only bows down to the new Explorer 5000 Plus, the Explorer 2000 Plus is a great option to cover camping needs, outdoor events, and home backup, starting at a 2,042Wh LiFePO4 battery capacity. That capacity can be boosted to 12,000Wh with five expansion batteries connected, while pairing two of these fully expanded setups together takes things to their maximum 24,000Wh levels. The station delivers up to 3,000W of steady output power through 10 port options, while the dual-expanded setups go higher at up to 6,000W of power.

The battery can be recharged to full in just two hours through a wall outlet, or it will take the same timeframe to get it back to full when connecting its maximum 1,200W solar input (not accounting for expanded setups), and a third option to connect to your car’s auxiliary port. You’ll get all the remote smart controls you’d expect through its companion app via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.

***Note: the additional 5% and on-page 7% discounts have not been factored into the pricing below, so be sure to use the code EXTRA5 at checkout (or EXTRA7 where applicable) for the maximum savings!

Anker SOLIX power stations

Anker SOLIX early Prime Day flash sales drop C300 AC 90,000mAh 100W solar bundle to a new $369 low

Anker SOLIX is beginning its early Prime Day events with two limited-stock flash sale periods – first through June 26, then through June 29. Among the first round of offers we’re seeing, things start lowest with the C300 AC 90,000mAh Portable Power Station that comes with a 100W solar panel for $369 shipped. This newer bundle normally goes for $669 in full, with it only available directly from the brand’s website here, as other marketplaces like Amazon only offer the 60W panel bundle. We’ve seen this package go as low as $399 previously, which is getting beaten out by the 45% markdown during this sale, giving you $300 in total savings at a new all-time low price. Head below to check out the other units getting discounts during these flash sales.

A great option for folks who want a more compact backup power solution that they can easily carry along while stowed inside a bag, the 9-pound Anker SOLIX C300 AC power station keeps your personal devices running with a 90,000mAh LiFePO4 capacity. Unlike its DC counterpart, which leans more in favor of USB ports, this model has three AC outlets on top of the three USB-Cs, the solo USB-A, and a car port. It provides a steady power output of up to 300W, with things surging to 600W for larger power needs.

There’s a bunch of ways to recharge its battery too, with the obvious one from this bundle being the 100W solar panel, though it can also utilize a standard wall outlet, a car port, or through the PD 3.1 USB-C port. Its design is especially tailored for campers and outdoor adventures, as there is an integrated carrying handle (alongside hooks to attach a shoulder strap), as well as the integrated light bar that sits above its front-facing display screen.

DELTA Pro Smart Extra Battery

Expand your EcoFlow DELTA Pro setup with two expansion batteries at $2,699 in flash savings ($2,899 off)

As part of its ongoing early Prime Day Sale through July 7, EcoFlow has launched the first of its scheduled flash sales, with two offers to upgrade your outdoor adventures. The first of these deals gives you two DELTA Pro Smart Extra Batteries for $2,699 shipped. This add-on bundle carries a $5,598 MSRP, but for the rest of the day you’ll benefit from the 52% markdown here to upgrade your DELTA Pro setup with $2,899 in savings. Considering that the lowest we’ve seen one battery go for was $1,399 during Black Friday and Christmas sales, this deal saves you $99 off buying two separately at those lowest rates, making this the best chance we have tracked to significantly expand your backup power support. It’s beating out Amazon by much more right now, where one unit is priced at $1,599, which comes in at $249.50 above the cost of each in this bundle.

If you’ve been wanting to expand your DELTA Pro setup beyond just the station, or further bolster things for greater backup power support inside or outside of the home, this DELTA Pro expansion battery bundle is certainly the best chance we’ve seen yet. Each of the batteries adds 3,600Wh to your overall capacity, giving you 10,800Wh should you currently only have the station, and helping to push you closer to its maximum 25kWh.

The second of these flash offers comes through the brand’s official Amazon storefront, giving you the new WAVE 3 Portable AC/Heater with an add-on battery and a free bag for the unit at $1,399 shipped, down from $2,299. This setup gives you mobile AC and heating for your tent, car, camper, or any other enclosed space, with the brand claiming it to “drop temperatures by 15 degrees in 15 minutes” or “warming a space by 17 degrees in 15 minutes.” There are plenty of smart controls via the app, like the new PetCare feature that automatically starts cooling when temperatures hit 77 degrees, among others.

Be sure to check out EcoFlow’s early Prime Day Sale offers in our original coverage here, which features 60% initial discounts, bonus savings, free gear, installation subsidies on select units, member benefits, and more.

Greenworks 40V 17-inch cordless push lawn mower

This model hit the scene back at the top of the year carrying a $310 price tag in full, which we’ve only seen brought down as low as $232 at Amazon. All the rates we’ve tracked before are getting beaten out now by the 26% markdown here, which cuts $80 off the tag to land at a new all-time low price.

Perfect for first-time homeowners or for anyone looking for a budget-friendly means to replace their noisy gas-guzzlers, this 40V cordless lawn mower from Greenworks comes with a durable 17-inch steel deck that still retains a lighter weight for more effortless maneuvering around your yard.

If you’re looking to stock up on the brand’s commercial-grade lawn care solutions, you can find the 82V 760 CFM Cordless Axial Leaf Blower bundle with two 82V Bluetooth 4.0Ah batteries and a dual-port rapid charger down at a new $300 low (50% off), as well as the 82V 18-inch Commercial-Grade Cordless Chainsaw that comes with 4.0Ah and 2.5Ah batteries and a dual-port rapid charger at a new $400 low.

Worx Nitro 40V 15-inch Cordless String Trimmer

Control the length of line up to a 15-inch cutting swath with this 40V Worx Nitro cordless trimmer kit at $190 low

Amazon is offering the Worx Nitro 40V 15-inch Cordless String Trimmer with Dual-Exit Bump Feed Head, two 4.0Ah batteries, and a dual-port charger for $189.99 shipped. Normally, this trimmer package would run you $270 at full price, which we’ve previously seen brought down as low as $200 before this month. Today’s deal gives folks a second shot at the best price we have tracked, saving you $80 on a more advanced trimmer while also getting double the power supply.

A more advanced trimming and weed whacking solution, this Worx Nitro 40V string trimmer features a dual-exit bump feed head that can extend the line out to a 15-inch max cutting swath with a simple tap on the ground. What’s more, loading in more lines is quick and easy to save you time, with there also being a variable speed control to dial up or dial back speeds depending on the job at hand. It only weighs 9.42 pounds in total, making it easy to use for folks of all sizes. The two included batteries also give you double the runtime while being interchangeable with 140+ other tools in the brand’s PowerShare ecosystem.
