Ideally, rezoning and infrastructure changes would reduce the need for school buses. We don’t have the time though, so this is a win. Hopefully production can ramp up and governments can create incentives for schools to buy these instead of dead dino powered buses.

School busses are one of the perfect fits for electric engines:

Set schedule with down time to charge Specific route with known distances. Heavy and must drive up hills: which benefit from amazing torque generated by Electric engines. Large internal space for battery storage

Just pray Muskrat doesn’t somehow win the bid. We’ll never see them

Meh, outlets are superior than USB ports. USB wears out too quickly with rough use and, with USB-A, the charging cannot exceed 15W.
