You want a source for "I'd expect"? MLA style?

Me. 1 Mar. 2023. Hacker News, comment #34991363.



No, for the part where you made an assertion of fact. "I'd expect" is your opinion, and you're entitled to that of course. I was asking you to quote where you got the source for "provisioning more chargers than vechicles."

> They're provisioning more chargers than vehicles.


It's literally the first paragraph in the article. Scroll up, I quoted it in my original comment too.

> The U.S. Postal Service's plans for a nationwide fleet of electric vehicles are getting closer to being realized. The service awarded contracts on Tuesday for 9,250 battery electric vehicles and for more than 14,000 charging stations.


If you read more of the article, you will see additional numbers.

  As such, a contract has also been awarded for the agency to acquire 9,250
  commercial-off-the-shelf internal combustion engine vehicles "to fill the
  urgent need for vehicles." In December, the agency said that 21,000 COTS
  vehicles will be purchased and are "expected to be battery electric,"
  but said that depends "on market availability and operational feasibility."


"They plan to buy more EVs" can (again, I expect) probably be safely read to include "and the requisite infrastructure to accompany them" eventually.


The question was , "Where are they going to charge them once a post office has a few?" So, I'm not sure why you are trying to correct my factual quotes to answer that question by posting your expectations as to the future hypothetical existence of chargers.


This argument is pointless
