WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The chair of the U.S. House of Representatives’ Oversight and Reform Committee on Tuesday asked Postmaster General Louis DeJoy to detail how the Postal Service (USPS) will spend $3 billion awarded by Congress in August for electric vehicles and charging infrastructure.
In a letter seen by Reuters, Representative Carolyn Maloney asked DeJoy for “a detailed plan and timeline to use the $3 billion in funding provided in the Inflation Reduction Act to increase the number of electric (delivery vehicles) being purchased and necessary support infrastructure.”
The USPS did not immediately comment.
