Tell the USPS to shift to electric delivery trucks
Postal trucks are perhaps the fleet best suited to shift to electric, as they go through every neighborhood in America and typically drive only 20 miles per day. Tell the USPS the time is now to bring the USPS trucks into the 21st century. (Please share this with your friends and family!) Sign the petition >>

Drive Electric Earth Day propels the shift to electric
Americans are making the shift to electric during Drive Electric Earth Day. Last month, over 100 online and in-person events brought EVs into communities across the country! One event organizer reports that some attendees purchased EVs after his event. Mark your calendars for National Drive Electric Week, September 25–October 3, 2021. We’d like to thank all event volunteers, organizers, attendees, sponsors, and community partners who made DEED such a success!
