Title: E-Royal Mail Vans
Post by: Sir Tigger KC on 10 February 2026, 22:19:02
More EV chat!  :)

I pulled into a big Sainsbury's in Exeter this afternoon and there were three electric Royal Mail vans parked in the charging spots and the Posties were standing around having a chat while their vans charged up.

I doubt that this time counts as break time and I wondered how long every day these Posties have to hang around charging their vans. I saw three this afternoon, but there must be hundreds around the country twiddling their thumbs at the charging point at any given time.  :-\

No wonder the postal service has gone to shite!   ::)   ???   :D

Surely, I mean surely, they charge them up overnight  :-\

You're assuming that when Royal Mail's top brass decided to go electric and spent millions on a fleet of electric vans, they included charging facilities at the sorting depots in their plans?  ???    ;D

It will be done on purpose by the posties to manipulate "break times" - and 3 of them all at the same time?
