We got 6 in our office, but our planogram shows the whole office will be getting them. Even planned for which are ICE and EV. Ours at the very least are delayed since the office is not equipped with chargers, but that's currently being changed. Construction is taking pretty close to a year by the plan... but county just showed up and closed that plan since we had no permits for it

It's a mixture of factors.
Firstly, manufacturing delays. Oshkosh simply isn't making them as quickly as their initial stated goals.
Secondly, inspection. Upon receipt, each NGDV is inspected by VMF. To my understanding, this is about a 4 hour process per unit. Many districts have one person performing the inspections; leading to, at best, 2 activations per day.
Thirdly, training. This runs into the same problems as inspections. Not enough trainers to work through carrier training backlogs.
Put these together, and you have a mix of slow deliveries and parking lots of inactive NGDV's waiting for untrained carriers.

Meanwhile the LLVs are dropping like flies and getting replaced with more garbage LLVs.

Actually the rear axles have been falling off lately.That was a joke
Just another example of how slow the gears turn in this outfit, no pun intended.

Postmaster has it up in his office, people wander in there for various reasons and out the info goes. Can't help anyone else there.
We're down 4 out of 15 llvs atm. Bad enough but I'm sure there are places way worse.
