French Postal Service and Electric Vehicles

At least someone's got the right idea.

The French postal service, La Poste, plans to order 10,000 electric delivery vehicles. They'll save 4 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions per vehicle. It's six times cheaper to run an electric vehicle than a diesel one.

We need a similar commitment from British delivery organisations -- courier companies, the Royal Mail, home deliveries by supermarkets -- to support the electric vehicle industry.
