The USPS has a long history of testing electric vehicles, starting in the
late 1800's:
https://about.usps.com/who-we-are/postal-history/electric-vehicles.pdf
Looks like it was mainly the suppliers who were responsible for them not
being implemented.

Over the years, the USPS has carried out several EV trials with small fleets

To be fair, it does - if, as is likely, the driver uses aircon in the summer
or heat in the winter.

A hybrid basically, just takes care if idling does it not? The motive
