they have a number of EVs out there, though they have had some

Not surprising. Most are new vehicles, from new manufacturers. Lots of
bugs to work out, often having nothing to do with it being electric
(brakes, suspension, steering, body work, etc.) The usual ICE delivery
vehicle manufacturers never want to build EV versions, so USPS, UPS,
Fedex, etc. get them from new (and inexperienced) suppliers.
In small towns, they find that their demand for electricity exceeds
that of the entire town! So, for example, in San Bernardino County in
California, they had to build their own infrastructure.
That can't be because they are EVs. I'll bet it's simply because UPS (or
whoever) put a big distribution center in the middle of nowhere, and had
to pay to route in the usual power and other utilities that any factory
or business needs.
