- wallace_f 8y agoThis is one of the reasons why I was surprised Tesla revealed a semi before a city bus. Getting the air and noise pollution out of city centers alone is a big win. City busses also dont have as much energy-density issues (can swap busses or batteries) and regenerative braking would also be a big win, especially with the way bus drivers drive.
- dotancohen 8y agoSemis outside the city avoid stop-and-go, which drastically affects mileage. City buses are almost strictly stop-and-go, if for nothing more than alighting of passengers.
- icebraining 8y agoElectric buses is a competitive business; semis less so, from what I can tell. Tesla probably has a better head start there.
