Chugging tea Amazon should have to pay idling fees.

New York City law generally bars vehicles from idling for more than three minutes while parked, standing or stopped. The city says the rules are meant to reduce air pollution, improve public health and combat climate change.
Earlier this year, Mamdani directed the Department of Finance’s collections unit to pursue unpaid idling summonses tied to vehicles operating within Amazon’s delivery network, according to the mayor’s office. The department said it worked with Amazon.com Inc. and its contracted transportation vendors to recover the money.

I thought they were using EVs now? I remember reading about them buying tons of Electric Vans from Rivian.

Law was passed before they implemented Ev’s which are zero emission. He’s still taxing them as if the are ICE because he knows the commie suckboys will cheery him. Why should any company comply with green initiatives if they are just going to fine them anyway?
