It is also very cold in upstate NY during the winter. Heat will be needed in the busses to keep the chillins from getting frostbite. Batteries drop capacity considerably in the cold. So even more opportunities for EV failure. OTO if the batteries catch on fire it would help keep the kids warm.
But the primary mission of the EV stuff is fulfilled- taxpayer money is transferred to special interest groups who can then kickback ten percent to the big guy and other corrupt Democrats.
They’ll also need a lot of hot air blowing to keep the windows clear of frost.
