Excerpt: “The U.S. Postal Service operates one of the largest civilian delivery fleets in the world, with more than 232,000 vehicles delivering to nearly 169 million addresses across the country. As part of its 10-year strategic plan, it is modernizing its 30-year-old fleet to a mix of internal combustion engine (gas) and electric vehicles (EV). To support this effort, the Postal Service contracted with three vendors in February 2023 to purchase 14,050 EV charging stations and commissioned 3,925 charging stations as of March 2025. … The charging stations had security risks that could disrupt EV charging or allow unauthorized charging sessions. In addition, security cameras at the selected sites we visited were either not 1) installed; 2) accessible to management; or 3) monitoring the charging stations. Finally, there were inadequate contingency plans for charging stations to charge EVs during prolonged power outages or charging station functionality issues.”
