Vermont EV Buses Don't Run in the Cold

All I can do is point and laugh "ha, ha!"

Vermont EV buses prove unreliable for transportation this winter

FTA:

Electric buses are proving unreliable this winter for Vermont's Green Mountain Transit, as it needs to be over 41 degrees for the buses to charge, but due to a battery recall the buses are a fire hazard and can't be charged in a garage.

Spokesman for energy workers advocacy group Power the Future Larry Behrens told the Center Square: "Taxpayers were sold an $8 million ‘solution’ that can’t operate in cold weather when the home for these buses is in New England.”

"We’re beyond the point where this looks like incompetence and starts to smell like fraud,” Behrens said.

Ya think! Any idiot would know you can't run these toy cars in very cold weather.

This is what you get from Progressivism; it's always been a scam.

And for what? To "save the planet" from a lilliputian rise in atmospheric carbon dioxide levels, something it does not do anyway as it produces just as much greenhouse gas in the actual generation of power to provide the electricity, plus requires a bunch of very dirty materials be made via strip mining.

But it makes the Bernie Sanders' voting crowd feel good about how righteous they are.

1 Apparently, Comrade Bernie's constituents didn't get much schooling, or only went to school in good weather. Or maybe they all walked to school, in the snow of course, when it was blowing in their faces, both ways.
