Lithium ion batteries are to propulsion systems as compact florescent bulbs were to lighting.

Hehe, almost like fake Christians wearing EVs around their necks like a cross.

Love how all the enviro global climate change initiatives near weekly gets shown to be utter garbo and more akin to a fake religion prostrating themselves before fake shrines.

They will keep buying these buses until they kill a bus full of commuters.

Leftists always double down on stupid.

Another EV goes up in smoke. With a bus sized lithium battery, this must have been very difficult to put out.

Bridgeport, a city that has truly gone to hell. Once one of the richest cities in the USA and now a sewer controlled by black and brown drug gangs and full to the brim with dysfunctional worthless individuals. A lot of Nutmeg State cities are much like Shitport.

“Bus fires are rare, but can occur similar to cars.”

So park your EV far from your house.
