So, don't get me wrong, I'm in on electric vehicles and busses (although maybe lrt or electric rail would be better, idk) , but I'd like to see that study done in Edmonton vs California. Temperature matters for BEV. And while it barely matters for the average commute, it will for a bus expected to run all day.
It even speaks to the range dipping in winter, and that does put major strain on a battery. ICE vehicles are also a lot less reliable in Canada vs lots of the States.
