Stache gives us the details on four electric school buses that “burned overnight at Allen Brook School in Williston, Vermont, forcing the Champlain Valley School District to cancel classes due to the loss of student transportation.”
It's just a matter of time before the electric buses will be off the road - either burned up or broken and non-functional. That will be a good day!.. The decision to purchase these buses was a poor decision as there has been enough information to accurately predict the failures for a few years now. The decision to continue their use is strictly incompetence. And the taxpayers in these school districts need to get very concerned about the financial management of the school district. It is highly doubtful that this is the only bad financial decision being made.
I would not let my child ride one of these high risk machines.

The city of Regina in Saskatchewan (where temperatures swing from +40 C to -40 C) had an emergency yesterday when one of the 7 electric buses purchased last year started smelling of smoke and needed emergency action. In December, the head of the bus union said it was a mistake to purchase the buses because when it's cold they can only run for about 2 hours! https://x.com/JustBins/status/2032258335303745876 ; https://nationalpost.com/opinion/jamie-sarkonak-electric-buses-are-a-disaster-for-every-canadian-city-that-tries-them
Unbelievable!
