Data (npub1hsh…9n78) City of Edmonton spent $60M on electric buses and they barely work.
Their advertised range of 340km get 117km in range in real life which makes them operational only a fraction of the day thus requiring more buses and adding to costs.
They also need a diesel heater a $200k 'blanket' to keep batteries warm.
The diesel buses in comparison can work all day on one tank.
