Electric van manufacturer Canoo announced a highly visible deal with the United States Postal Service (USPS), which will see the USPS acquire a handful of right-hand drive versions of the company’s LDV 190 delivery van.

Canoo announced that the USPS will purchase six (6) battery-electric Canoo vehicles. In its official press release, the company said that it was “honored” to participate in the post office’s evaluation of potential suppliers as the USPS moves towards the “groundbreaking electrification and modernization” of its national delivery fleet.

I agree in that I wouldn't think someone was cool if they had one, but I think that I would feel cool if I was driving one. For real slow routes like the mail, or for delivering on a large campus though, this looks way nicer than most of the on site vehicles we've had.

That cockpit is super funky and for a work vehicle, I think it is definitely cool looking in that cheap semi-distopian future way like Total Recall or Demolition Man.
