Well, if an average Greyhound diesel bus has a 190-gallon tank and gets average fuel economy of 6 mpg, that means the range is 1,140 miles. IOW, the diesel bus can go 5.7 times further than the electric bus.

I love all the high tech stuff but to see the ‘national rail road’ turn my tax money into landfill is saddening.

the extra weight the batteries carry will hasten the break down of the road surface. Which means re-surfacing with 1) oil based asphalt or 2) natural gas kiln lime made cement
Yup. saving green house gases....

Lithium is a highly reactive metal which burns readily; chemically Lithium is a cousin of magnesium, another highly reactive alkaline earth metal. Magnesium is what was used in the firebombs which destroyed Tokyo, Dresden, and dozens of other cites during WWII. Lithium would have been a fine substitute.

Not that it matters to Leftists, since they’re spending OUR MONEY, but there are now grounded FLEETS of electric buses that I remember reading about (can’t remember the city or cities, though). They simply DO NOT work, regardless of what the Ukraine War supporters claim.

I can’t imagine the size of the battery(s) and the charging time involved. And the possible explosion and fires.
