>It is range that is the problem. I'm surprised... urban bus speeds in the US are below 15 mph, see below, so even a 180 mile range should give over 12 hrs operation. Electric buses are very efficient on hills and in stop-start conditions, btw. http://cityobservatory.org/urban-buses-are-slowing-down/ |

Electric buses struggle on hills. LA Metro found their BYD electric buses would stall on hills. BYD's response was that "Metro drove BYD’s buses on hills that were too steep":
