LOL; I can see Midtown streets clogged by battery-dead buses.
Poor suffering taxpayers being sold a “Green Hoax!”
Where will the electricity be generated and how much will THAT cost vis a vis petroleum-based vehicles?
Not a bad idea actually, mail vehicles,dog catchers,garbage trucks, metermaids and such. How would you out race a Tesla cop car?
The left always uses the word “investment” when they spend money on a highly dubious political project.
What could possibly go wrong!
It still won’t match the boondoggle of California.
Politicians and their 10, 20, 30 year plans that they will never be held accountable for.
They would do much better with a CNG fleet; Boston’s been using Compressed Natural Gas buses for a long time now, and they have quietly performed very well. About the only thing they’ve done right, but broken clocks and Democrats….

OK
I am waiting for when those battery powered snow plows are called out at midnight, at minus 10.
If they just had some solar panels on the snow plow roofs . . .
As for the internal combustion vehicles that these EV’s will replace . . . Will they be destroyed to insure that NYC actually meets their “climate goals?” Unlikely - they’ll probably be auctioned off to businesses and the general public who will continue to use them for years, if not decades.
Would love to see the life-cycle cost of these EV’s, as compared to the ICE versions.
Craziness.
Also note that Constitution requires feds to periodically publish statement of recepts.
Article I, Section 9, Clause 7: "No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law; and a regular Statement and Account of the Receipts and Expenditures of all public Money shall be published from time to time."
There are web sites with federal receipt information, but I haven't explored them yet.
New York Shitty they be crazy!
This is the kind of use I expect to be most common soon. It makes the most sense, ICE buses sitting and creeping block to block is silly. Use EVs, range probably isn’t an issue.
If there are no power failures when they are recharging they’ll be fine.
In a few months, the new no wood burning heat law goes into effect. Yep, across the state, you can’t heat your house with wood. No new buildings can have gas hook ups so no gas heating or cooking in NYC. They’re pushing for electric vehicles.
Get your popcorn ready for the next power fail in NY.
will also work to move to a fully electric fleet by 2035.

We do not have that time (only 9 years let!)! BY 2035 we will all be death!
Gavin Newsom bought Chinese communist electric buses when he was mayor of San Francisco. The buses do not work well, break down often and cannot get up the hills. He later as governor stole $1.6 billion from the state in April 2020. He did not go thru channels to get the money thru the legislators. He said he would buy masks from the same BUS company! Some 200,000 a month but no masks ever showed up.
In NY city you can bet the electric fleet will not work as advertised and much of the money will be laundered / stolen.
