After reading the article it seems the order was placed without first checking to make sure they couldn’t be fulfilled in time, so the manufacturer did a rush job and that ended up being more costly than scaling up responsibly.

In other words, it wasn’t because they were electric. It was because the timeline of the requirement was unrealistic and incompatible with the capabilities of the manufacturer. All self-solving problems with continued adoption of electric buses.

So the idiotic rush to save the environment at all costs was wasteful.

Ohhh Jimbo. Always so far off base so confident you’re not.

The rush was idiotic in this case, yes. But the thing itself was not.

All things take time to scale. When scaled though, it’s a different story.

The problem with climate zealots is they don't care how they spend others money they just want to see "progress".
