     electricity and gasoline; and
       (2) any barrier to transitioning to a fleet of electric 
     vehicles that exists for the Postal Service but does not 
     exist, or does not exist to the same degree, for the 
     competitors of the Postal Service that are currently 
     purchasing electric vehicles.
