    I bet with the maintenance and fuel savings, the occasional charter would be cheaper over the lifetime of the bus.

    If not, replace your 30 diesel fleet with 25 electric and 5 diesel. Still a big win.

      Yep I bet they’ll keep a handful of diesel trucks for specific occasions and emergencies.

          Given the size of the bus you could fit a huge ass battery in there.

            Yeah, but you don’t always need such a large battery, and that takes way from the storage area, which is important for long trips.
