What a team! Out there mouthing away!
The Washington Free Beacon reported that the city of Philadelphia, which spent $24 million for the 25 new Proterra buses, had to sideline the entire fleet by the city's transit authority in February of last year, “due to both structural and logistical problems—the weight of the powerful battery was cracking the vehicles’ chassis, and the battery life was insufficient for the city's bus routes.” The report noted that the city brought the issues to Proterra, but they failed to address the concerns. Additionally, in Duluth, Minnesota, the buses were also taken off of the road since the bus's brakes, which the viceroyalty president promoted on Thursday, could not handle the city's hills.
Politicians never cease to amaze me!
Its battery pack consists of 1,000 D cells.
Non rechargeable of course, but with a range of a few hundred yards.
Replacement batteries available per special govt contract at only $100 per cell. Funds go to the “HO GOES MOTOR CO”.
Not only could the battery in Proterra busses not hold enough power for Philadelphia routes, but the batteries were so heavy that they cracked the bus chassis.
Federal Democrats unsurprisingly seem to be unconstitutionally bailing out energy companies that either don't have the money to refine their products, and/or are possibly badly managed by owners/managers who support Democratic elite.
Corrections, insights welcome.

I can see their campaign slogan now. Elect the Whore and the Homo for a more diverse, amoral America
The casual, open corruption of our rulers is astounding and threatens our republic.
Don’t doubt these people would sell out the US to protect their Chinese interests.
