As I recall, conservatives were warning of these problems at the time schools and towns started purchasing those electric buses. No one paid attention. They didn’t consider all the possibilities, including the fact that charges seldom lasted as long as advertised, or that heating and cooling would be a problem. There are other issues.
For instance, schools that normally use buses to transport their sports teams to out of town trips are now in a quandary. If the school they are traveling to does not have charging stations for buses available, then they risk not having sufficient power to return the student home.
I dealt with this issue first-hand at my place of employment prior to retirement. I had often reserved the use of an institutional bus to transport groups of 30 or so to a town 100 miles away. Before I retired, I received a notice that since they had switched to all electric buses that service would no longer be available. Those buses would not make the round trip without re-charging and since re-charging may not always be available, they would not allow those buses to be reserved any longer. I notified my replacement that she would have to deal with that problem. I was out of there!
Quadruple the price and half the performance and the response is to double down on the “investment”. Wonder how many black child slaves died mining the ore for the humongous batteries needed for these behemoths. And when the battery dies, they’ll bury in a landfill and poison the ground water for generations.
And lamenting the demise of sports travel is hilarious! As if any leftists would give two sh*ts about that!
Lefties are happy to have you inconvenienced, overcharged, and hamstrung to make their feelings better. They especially like it when their solutions involve child slavery [batteries, cheap shoes, high fashion]. Reality be damned.
