EV Lemons
The New buses can only carry 3 students due to weight limits being nearly exceeded by the batteries- (I joke, but I wonder if weight limits are being exceeded? Also- enjoy freezing cold rides to school on winter days )
The wankers who push rechargeable school buses, and showering federal confetti bucks to buy them, what a racket.
At least little Timmy knows how to give a good blowjob, so they got that goin’ for them.
I confess, I’ve never been to Maine. I hear it’s lovely in the summer, but I suspect it gets pretty nippy in the winter. And I’ve been told that lots of Maine is pretty rural, so busses have to travel long distances.
Are electric busses good at long distances in the cold? But hey, the kids don’t have to breathe the diesel fumes—or go to school if the busses aren’t running.
They are ‘defective’ only if you expect them to work just like ICE busses...............
10% for the big guy.
There are going to be a lot of kids stranded on broken down buses in rural Maine in the middle of winter.
You don’t need a crystal ball to see that one coming....
Public schools are child abuse.
Are electric busses good at long distances in the cold?
Needs heaters, defrosters on windows.. reduces the range.
The EV scam has been easily foisted upon the weak minded. To everyone else it was just another conspiracy theory, right? EVs are certainly fine in limited, specific situations, but beyond this niche, EVs are little more than fools gold, and it’s pretty easy to be a fool spending other people’s money.
Conservative solution: Abandon failed programs.
Liberal solution: Continue failed programs. “Because this time it will be different.”
State of Maine should have done the inspections on these buses BEFORE they bought them. Might have saved all involved a lot of problems. Having lived in northern Maine for a couple of winters,I am wondering how the buses might perform at the below zero temperatures.
EV’s DOA.
More stupid and probably unconstitutional state (federal?) government (probably) illegally at work...
But the electric drivetrain is flawless!! And these buses do not spontaneously combust, either.
The good news is that this sign-painter landed a new gig painting school buses...
Donate them all to the homeless and illegals.
They are not just taxpayer subsidized they are taxpayer bought.
EPA provides $5 Billion for the purchase of ev buses .. to meet the agency’s goal of making 75% of the public school bus fleet electric by 2035.
While Winthrop School District waits for repairs, Lion Electric Co. is paying $15,000 for the district’s transportation department to rent two diesel school buses.
Exactly, there is a difference between defective and tech that simply will not work in the context you put it in. Putting EV Buses in cold climates is the latter. By saying they are “defective” you are obscuring the truth and that is done intentionally.
NOW!!!!!
