Ideally, rezoning and infrastructure changes would reduce the need for school buses. We don’t have the time though, so this is a win. Hopefully production can ramp up and governments can create incentives for schools to buy these instead of dead dino powered buses.
School busses are one of the perfect fits for electric engines:
Set schedule with down time to charge Specific route with known distances. Heavy and must drive up hills: which benefit from amazing torque generated by Electric engines. Large internal space for battery storage
Just pray Muskrat doesn’t somehow win the bid. We’ll never see them
You’re forgetting the most important feature, usb charging ports for every seat
I can already imagine someone shoving gum into them :(
And as long as it can cover the longest route on one charge it wouldn’t need to cover that same distance every trip. You could pick the buses route based on battery % and have them alternate.
