Reply to comment by NoodleShak in High utility charges could derail MTA’s $1.1B electric bus transition by PichuLovy

And another comment on range: the 250-300 mile range you cite is based on continual travel at highway speeds. My EV (a 2022 Tesla Model 3 Performance) would get way more than 300 miles of range at the average speeds NYC buses travel. Like, substantially more range at those speeds.

I could argue that the bus is substantially heavier than your car but that’s offset by the much larger battery and regenerative charging.

In short we’ve assured ourselves in five comments this post article is nonsense. Well met fellow New Yorker.
