No reason to stick to one-size-fits-all. Buy electrics for the routes where they are appropriate and get gas or LP trucks for the rest. Miles per day isn't the operative factor with postal vans. It's the repetitive stopping and accelerating that drains the batteries. They would need a regenerative system to regain some of that.
The Grumman trucks they use around here are falling apart. Time to replace them.
