Super cool to see outlaid as well as you did here. Any captive fleet use case has compelling electrification directions. Fueling in the depot over night and predictable fuel costs to name a few. Thank you for the video. I enjoyed watching.
I'm a canada post letter carrier. I cannot speak for the electric units but the F-150 designed versions are a bit problematic. They are too big for business Mail delivery and too small for our commercial pick ups and delivery. The racking in the back is excessive and not all that useful. The parcel area is too small and the pull out tray is just ridiculous. In fact, it has less parcel space that the ford transit connect. For canada post the passenger side door and panel doesn't open or not easily. The AC, heated seats, heated steering wheel, and 4 wheel drive are nice features. About the only thing they got right is right hand drive and the step up height. Just my two cents.
But of course we have to go with the ugly and horrible launch of Rivian's van. My brother-in-law worked on fixing these things before they launched. I forget the exact issue but I recall him saying that it was silly what they had to fix and how the government had them fix them.
I live in rural BC, 30 years, we have never had to your door delivery & never ever had a CP vehicle delivery to our 1,5 km away post box. In Vancouver the Purolater van is electric so why CP (Co owner of Purolater) has fiddled while Rome burned is puzzling. Rivan is not a good bet, the repair bills have been astronomical for owners so far, seems the company didn't realize their vehicles can break.

This thing looks like a bank van
TY-I was wondering about all this.

GM's Brightdrop van is built in ontario and is all electric on the Ultium chassis... it would have been a better choice

Kyle Conner needs to drive this
2:40 Sounds like they should have reinvented the shelving for mail than remanufacturing the whole body
THE GOVERNMENT MISSED SOMETHING?..........................LMFAO
I'll miss the grumman, but it looks WAY better than what the USPS is going towards with the Oshkosh lmao
I don't think calling canada post 'c-p' is a good idea. it has some bad connotation
Call it Convient Canada Post nothing bad with CCP... Oh... wait.
The CP acronym for Canada Post predates the popular use of the acronym for that. And the proper acronym for what you're referring to is CSAM.
They really tried their best to make it as ugly as possible.
