Wait 'til the parents find out. There will be bans on e-busses because they are "woke", I guarantee it.

Unless they are Elon-approved, of course.

I'll go one step further and bet that some lunatic will arson attack the buses whilst they're parked or even when there's kids onboard.

Mississippi is being brought into the future. Thanks Biden.

So are these built by Schneider Electric? I wasn’t clear after reading the article.

It’s still fishy that Proterra went bankrupt. It made no sense with all the electric school and public transit bus orders coming in.
