Fascinating. In London we've had a few BYD busses in London since late 2016 now: https://tfl.gov.uk/info-for/media/press-releases/2016/september/mayor-unveils-first-fully-electric-bus-routes-for-central-lond https://tfl.gov.uk/info-for/media/press-releases/2016/septem... This appears to be the bus they use: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BYD_K9 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BYD_K9 I'd love to know how they are holding up (I have to assume that the limited deployment is effectively a trial by Transport for London to see how well they work) if anyone knows of any updates on those? Based on the statistics for London buses (about 490 million KM driven a year by 9616 buses = about 51,000KM a year, or about 32,000 miles a year source: https://tfl.gov.uk/corporate/publications-and-reports/buses-performance-data https://tfl.gov.uk/corporate/publications-and-reports/buses-... for distance and https://data.london.gov.uk/dataset/number-buses-type-bus-london?resource=12ab947a-6d02-4792-93d1-dac9da2cc7d2 https://data.london.gov.uk/dataset/number-buses-type-bus-lon... for number of buses) it would seem that the average daily distance for a bus would likely be somewhere in the 80-120 miles a day range depending on how many days a year a bus is driven (that range is for 365 days to 250 days a year). At 80-125 miles a day, that seems like it is screaming out for electrification right now. It would seem that it is totally within the reach of current technology. The BYD K9 has an advertised range of 155 miles. The sooner diesel buses (and trucks) leave urban areas like London the better. The rancid stench and taste of diesel fumes that hit you is disgusting, not to mention that some diesel vehicles are outrageously loud too. Diesel is literally killing us.
