Yosemite national park has had electric buses for like 20 years. They use them in the summer and I have no idea how they charge them. They are quieter but they park them in the winter and switch back to diesel. It’s nice getting into a warm bus when there’s snow outside.

This is pretty funny. A German town dealt with the carbon emissions crisis by getting rid of their diesel powered car ferry (that worked very well) by replacing it with a solar powered one (that doesn't work at all).

Now cars that can't cross at the ferry have to drive and additional 20 miles out of the way to get to the nearest bridge...

...the city father sold the diesel ferry for 17K Euros, and are now trying to buy it back.
