oh fun!
To provide “unlimited" range on their BEV buses they’ve created 'charge points' that can be strategically installed on a route. All of the BEV buses come equipped with a pantograph style connector on the roof that can raise up and attach to the charger.
It is 450kW and delivers 1.5-2hrs operating time in 6mins.

Transit buses from New Flyer are once again being *fully* built in Canada! Including Hybrid-Electric and BEV!

Just looking at their brochure for their lineup of new buses.

It just annoys me that the implied basis of this story is that there are no other options than air or road/car.
Even though a railway has gone through Castlegar for over 100 years and there also used to be regular Greyhound bus service up until about 20 years ago.

I wonder how many teenage lives could be saved (along with hundreds if not thousands of dollars in travel costs) if Alberta and Canada had a functioning bus/rail intercity public transport system.
But let's not do that... it might upset some car company lobbyist. Best to put 17 year-olds on icy Alberta highways at night after hockey practice.
