I am all for electric buses, I have stated many times I think the best route for that would be to Federally mandate replacing all school buses with such. However while mass transit is very heavily subsidized by the Federal Government the same is not true about school bus fleets, that should flip. Fund the school buses and let mass transit pay for itself more. I like EVs in general and think people should make a choice that fits their lifestyle, I own a TM3 myself. Still I will state that for the most this article overlooks the facts that one of China's big exporters has had heaps of issues with its electric buses. Recently [1] Albuquerque has had to reject their BYD buses because they don't make their range claims and overheat in hot weather. This wasn't the only city to have issues with these buses. so where are the American manufacturers at? Proterra is the only one I have seen mentioned [2] and recently in Forbes their name came up.
