The people who bought these things with taxpayer money should have to pay the taxpayers back for this bullshit.

Hey, they sort of worked for 3 years! Good thing they kept the old ones as backup.

Why does a town with 10,000 people and wide open spaces need 31 buses?

On a good note, diesel fueled short bus’s are still operational to transport anyone that supported battery operated tyco buses.

The question to ask if someone has a discussion about the merits of electric vehicles.
Would you put a loved one in a EV or conventional vehicle to travel in a snowstorm or other inclement weather?

*snicker*

Wyoming barely has the budgets to buy buses and wasted so much on that EV crap.

Same thing happened in Minneapolis a few years ago. The touted electric buses failed even before the first cold winter. However, in neighboring St. Paul their Fire Department has an electric fire truck, donโ€™t worry it also has a diesel generator to actually fight fires

Note, they kept their diesel fleet as back up. So what was the decision to go electric? Free money, not any belief in electric..........................
