One problem is that 'diesel outages' on school nights are extremely rare or nonexistent. Maybe deliveries are late or pumps break but it seems like a solved problem. Electric trains are also a solved problem and are hardened from many power outages too.
Whereas some work needs to be done to harden the infrastructure at the school district level to avoid electric bus outages.
- elihu 5y agoIf there's a major power outage, the school probably won't be in session either. Though getting the students home might be a problem if power goes out in the middle of a school day and the buses haven't charged enough to get the students home. (If they have enough reserve capacity it's probably not an issue.)
