Not bad. The negative way to spin this is to point out that even with that 52% increase, we'll still only be at 1.5% EV. But hey, it's a good start. Now if we could just get their mommies to quit driving their ICE-SUVs to the end of their driveways to pick the kids up right off the bus. Heaven forbid they should have to walk up the driveway. My neighbor actually does this. But I digress. I'd like to see the EPA put the pedal down on this program. The sooner we get E-buses on the road, the more good they'll do. And let's put a thumb on the scale for EVs. The EPA has $5 billion in IIJ Act money to spend on "clean school buses." Scandalously (IMO), half of it can be - but doesn't have to be - spent on "low emission" buses, which I suspect will be CNG Diesel. We need the EPA to use that pile of cash in the next couple of years, and ideally on 100% E-buses, if that's possible under the law. Not to get partisan here, but we have to be realistic. Given the way things are going politically in the US, if the EPA doesn't spend all $5b in their piggy bank before FY25, they're likely to lose the opportunity.

Re: [EVDL] EV school buses
Totally concur, but the companies coming to the dance at this point (ie have product) are less than stellar. There are also infrastructure issues needing to be addressed as well (ie adding level 3 charging at the bus shed). Sadly, my district in southern oregon will not be a “pioneer”, but rather a “follower.” Sincerely, Bob Bath 541.761.0838 Note: any misspellings of the contents of this message are due to 56 y.o. vision, hyperactive spell check changing what I typed, or fat fingering— not cluelessness. > On Oct 26, 2022, at 8:04 AM, Peri Hartman via EV wrote: > > Probably this isn't news anymore :) > > I think this is particularly a good move.

[EVDL] EV school buses
Probably this isn't news anymore :) I think this is particularly a good move. School buses generally don't have very long routes, start and stop a lot, and carry "precious developing lungs" on board. Especially when buses are queued, exhaust from the bus in front gets sucked into the cabin of the next. I remember well, when I was a kid. - Government awarding $1 billion to schools for electric buses https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/government-awarding-1-billion-to-schools-for-electric-buses/ (from AP) Nearly 400 school districts spanning all 50 states and Washington, D.C., along with several tribes and U.S. territories, are receiving roughly $1 billion in grants to purchase about 2,500 “clean” school buses under a new federal program. ... Only about 1% of the nation’s 480,000 school buses were electric as of last year ... The EPA said it received about 2,000 applications requesting nearly $4 billion for more than 12,000 buses, mostly electric. A total of 389 applications worth $913 million were accepted to support purchase of 2,463 buses, 95% of which will be electric, the EPA said. The remaining buses will run on compressed natural gas or propane. ... Harris and Regan are expected to announce the awards at an event in Seattle with Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., and Gov. Jay Inslee. -- Peri << Annoyed by leaf blowers ? https://quietcleanseattle.org/ >> ___ Address messages to ev@lists.evdl.org No other addresses in TO and CC fields HELP: http://www.evdl.org/help/
