Well, ask LA how that is working out [1]. While I applaud the effort it is not without its problems. I always thought that we should have moved to electrify school buses. while the initial expense is high it would have protected systems from fluctuations in fuel prices that have put a real hurt on them at times.
plus it would get kid used to the idea of an EV world and not having to sit on buses idling for too long

- CaliforniaKarl 8y agoI don't think the parent comment was making that kind of point. The referenced article was talking about problems that LA officials were seeing at (and with the vehicles produced by) the BYD plant that is the subject of this post's Ars Technica article. And I can vouch for that; as I detailed in another comment, I often ride BYD buses that are old enough to be in the scope of the LA Times article, and there are issues. I expect this electric vehicle maker will get their act together with time!
