More RNG suppliers have stepped up in the space including BP, Chevron and Shell. An RNG fuel tax credit bill, if passed, could create even more interest.

Not our first rodeo. Winter testing of an EV dates back to the 19th century. A United States Postal Service carrier is shown above with a Winton Electric in 1899. Concerns with range and long charge times led USPS to embrace internal combustion.

Here's to hoping that they've clearly thought through range, charging infrastructure and battery lifecycle management.
