Comment on Electric School Buses More Than Doubled In USA From March 2022 To June 2023

School buses and delivery vehicles for sure.
I cringe every time the UPS truck comes through. The driver stops and shuts off the engine, makes their delivery, starts it back up, slams the accelerator, drives 100 ft., slams the brakes and then does it all over again. Day in and day out.

Also lawn equipment. I’m amazed that people still run these smoke spewing, oil leaking, horribly inefficient little devices all around their own property.

I’ve found the battery powered yard tools fantastic, but I live in an urban area with small yard. I don’t know whether you’d have as good an experience with a large yard or as a service

I’ve tried out both a battery-powered weed wacker and a battery powered lawnmower and had to get rid of both. As much as I wanted them to succeed, they were both just seriously under-powered and needed multiple batteries to complete the job.
Probably will take another look at them when my current gas models need to be replaced maybe in 5+ years, hopefully they’ve gotten better.
