Electric School Buses Lead to Massive Waste

While wasting other people’s money on green idiocy, moonbats often spin it as a way to lower costs. For example:

Electric buses were supposed to save money for Maryland’s largest school district. …

At a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the 326 electric buses in October 2022, Montgomery County Public Schools projected the shift would save 6,500 gallons of fuel per day and cut costs by 50%.

Then came reality, prominently featuring mechanical failures:

These mechanical and charging issues resulted in buses not being able to complete their routes 280 times between February 2022 and the end of March 2024. … The average time it took to repair an electric bus was 13 days, according to the report.

As a result, in October 2023, the school board approved the school system’s request to buy 90 diesel school buses “in light of the electric bus shortfall” at a cost of more than $14.7 million according to the report.

Diesel buses are haram in the liberal religion but have the advantage that they work. Plus they save money over electric moonbatmobiles. The report found the electric buses “led to millions of dollars in wasteful spending.”

It is intuitively obvious that electric vehicles are not economically efficient, because if they were, leftists in the government would not need to use subsidies and coercion to get people to drive them. But try telling that to educrats.

On a tip from Franco.
