    Oh man, but look how much more efficient they are: You have a large, high energy network to draw from when climbing very hard hills and full of passengers.

    So the bus electric motor only has to pull itself, the chassis, and the passengers up the hills, instead of all the above plus a several thousand pound battery, whose weight does not vary with state of charge.

    My point is, I know you’re aware they’re better, but they’re so much better to where it blasts appearance out of the question for me and others who understand the system.
