They can stuff them with wetbacks and drive them over the border.

The purpose to Proterra’s existence was to provide a conduit to bribe democrats.

Communists are very good at solving imaginary problems which always causes real problems.

A range of just 78 miles.... takes hours to charge. Needs to be pre-heated just to take a charge, and ..

Liberals never admit their mistakes. They never course-correct. So I fully expect:

Aide: Most of our electric buses are out of commission.
Mayor: Buy more electric buses!

>>They cost $1.2 million a piece, mostly paid for by government grants.
>>the manufacturer of the buses, Proterra, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in August

Sounds like Solyndra all over again..
just a money laundering scheme for the Rats.

Boston’s had excellent results with its Natural Gas fleet; clean, pleasant, reliable, economical, and safe. One of the few things they’ve done right.

Years ago, we had a storm here that came out of nowhere; lots of kids who rode school buses didn’t get home until 10PM, and it took me on public transit 4 hours to get home about 3 miles away.

A couple of years ago people were stuck on I95 in Virginia for up to 24 hours, and those with EVs were really SOL.

I wonder how parents would feel if their kid, riding an EV bus, didn’t get home for 24 hours, freezing the whole time...

Natural gas? But that's a "fossil" fuel (methane) that the commies will ban.

But how did this "fossil" fuel get on Saturn's moon, Titan?
