IKR. I'm imaging a future in which she is no longer anywhere near the position she currently occupies after she fell into it despite her gross incompetence and unlikability.If she really wants to help, she should jump in front of one.
Locally, IndyGo has a few of them. Safety concerns aside, just like all public transit here, I'm certain they're a net loss to all of us. If they had to fund themselves entirely on ridership, there would be no mass transit here or likely most anywhere else.And there are thousands of videos of standard cars burning on the side of the road. Electric buses make a ton of sense for dense urban areas. Just because horrible people propose it doesn't mean it is itself horrible.
Electric, yes. But the power is delivered to those by either energized tracks or onboard diesel generators (locomotives). They have no dense electrical energy storage ( batteries ) on board.Every light rail and subway in the US runs on electric just fine.
That's the the exact point I was making. All vehicles can a do burn. Which is safer for you kids to ride on?It is the incredible speed of battery decomposition that is so scary and it all can start with a very small short.
Yep. I am hopeful that these issues can eventually be addressed through engineering. Buses actually have an advantage in having the battery bank on the roof, you should be able to design a bus cab to safely survive catastrophic battery failure. Sort of like how an M1 tank has a fireproof bulkhead and blowout panels for ammo cookoff.Electric, yes.

Tanks full of diesel fuel don’t usually just explode they simply burn energetically.

It's complicated. EV buses sometimes make sense. Often they do not. There are a lot of factors at play.And there are thousands of videos of standard cars burning on the side of the road.

I don't have time to lay it all out now, but will come back to this later.
I am a firm believer that if and when the application of electric vehicles makes sense, they will be purchased and used by people in a free market. They will not have to be subsidized. They will not require 100's of millions in taxpayer funded promotions to get people to think positively about them. They darn sure not require any laws forcing them. Until those 3 things are met, they are still not a viable product.And there are thousands of videos of standard cars burning on the side of the road.

Unfortunately, that’s exactly what is happening.This government throws billions around like its nothing and most people are too dumb or just don't give a **** because their face is buried in their phone.....
Pretty sure most people admit mass transit is another subsidy for the lower classLocally, IndyGo has a few of them.
