An urban postal van that has to cover <20 miles a day can have quite a modest battery and electric drivetrain. Maybe 3X that of a golf cart. What are the operating costs of a golf cart?. Pretty low.

And yet people with golf carts convert them over to gas all the time. Ask nota.

So what? You think the mail carriers will get permission to hot rod their mail vans?
