Electric buses don't like the cold, study finds
In 2021, Tompkins Consolidated Area Transit (TCAT) in Ithaca received a grant to procure seven all-electric buses and began a pilot program that didn't go as they'd hoped. In addition to issues with the manufacturers, the buses struggled in Ithaca's hilly terrain and were unreliable, with reduced range, in cold weather.
