It's certainly the opposite of what we do now. Robert seems to be suggesting that in the future we'll store energy when PRODUCTION (solar) is high (day), and use that energy when the production is zero (night). That assumes that PV becomes the dominant energy source for the postal service, at least. I suppose it could happen, but honestly, I don't see it as very likely in the US. From what I can tell, the USPS is not an especially forward-looking operation. I'm surprised that they're even considering EVs for their new long-life vehicle design, and will be VERY surprised if they actually buy and keep using a significant number of them. Solar-powered postal delivery seems more possible (though still not all that likely) somewhere in the EU, say France or Germany.
