Trains are electric

I drive an ev blue bird school school. Here are the cons that driver experience in our district and management doesn’t want to hear. Battery overheats on a hot day, average 80 miles of range (need more range), can’t use bus after a route unless charging is near by and have enough time, experience one time that motor shutoff while bus was in motion, if AC or heater on full, it will drain the battery fast and last I don’t believe the regeneration is working on the ev bus I drive. Other than that the ev bluebird drives very good.

As a firefighter, it's great to see the electric power disconnect labeled and an "EV" sticker on all four sides after the bus number. These are very helpful in a crash or fire. The green bumpers & bird are a nice indicator as well, but it should have standard green wheels too. Fun Fact: another manufacturer has a blue bumper for their EV busses.

The worlds biggest EV? Ever heard of electric trains or maybe electric double decker buses?

I wish my busses as a kid had more than two speakers, air conditioning & three-point seatbels. Modern busses often feature tinted windows to stay cooler inside & give protection from the sun. The white painted roofs also help with the heat, but I hope solar panels are soon offered on these EV busses.

That flat area behind the rear seats looks like a good area for a bus driver to take a nap on a field trip or during the middle of the school day. It could also be used for sports gear bags when traveling to games at other schools.

it'll be interesting to see if any studies come out in regard to lower driver distractions from noisy students in the back, since there is no longer a loud engine

few years ago, i worked with this company called Motiv, i did some video work for them, they were converting USPS trucks and school bus to fully electric

Green bumper idea came from Lion Electric.

Great Job Raj!!!! This is a big deal! I’m sharing with all my school employees!!

I drive school bus.. but I've not been lucky enough to experience the electric ones yet (the company I work for has 3 here, but I've not been able to drive one yet :( ). Love electric cars, so I'm sure I'd love an electric bus, as well.

Really liked the idea of solar panel system used, these buses are really self sustainable

You came to my hood, that's awesome!

Thanks I'll pass this on to a major bus depot in Sydney, if that's ok.

Go watch what lion electric does. They were the first making those type of bus

Awesome project to convert school busses to electric.

🔥🔥🔥

What is the range of an electric bus in cold weather, a route with hills and kids on the bus?

This is just plain stupid. An emp will render all electric vehicles useless. LOL!!!
