She's one amazing clean bus, Great job guys.

[@ezrakainz]

Glad to see the focus on long term reliability and repair

[@Ghostsrider14]

As an Industrial Maintenance Technician, I love that they placed Maintenance so high on the scale for importance. Can't tell you how many times an Engineer will design something and place a part that will wear down quickly into a position at which it takes hours to dig down to.

[@seangibbons6520]

Good looking bus made with ease of use for the driver in mind.

[@luimackjohnson302]

Amazingly Brilliant! I need initial 20 of these school buses immediately in my country & some more later on. Great Product! Greetings from Madang, Papua New Guinea!

[@Wolfethyst]

Maybe it's just me, but I just think about the incredible schoolie conversions of these buses, lol

[@divergent.future]

Right?! Portable home with a massive house battery.

[@Collector3476]

If the vehicles don’t have a major flaw in the system then it shouldn’t catch on fire but it is always a good idea to have the vehicles checked out before they are deployed. School districts who are transitioning from fuel-based school buses to electric buses should establish a maintenance program to make sure that the electric school buses are in good condition and have them checked out for any potential safety hazards

[@scottfleming2166]

Impressive, very nice school bus

[@bikdav]

Judging from what you said about the composite material build, is the bus body on frame or unibody?

[@messyl1900]

Does the heating system for Winter time, run on battery power ?

[@theepichamster1443]

It can be battery or diesel powered. You choose.

[@lpdirv]

Air ride schoolbus, this is such a great feature over the old school busses and much safer. Well done, what a great product. Will be great to see the V2G capabilities.

[@TheFlyingmowerBusRailfan]

Why is the stop sign in the back of the bus instead of in the front

[@Athenstrainman]

California bus.

[@bikdav]

Some buses are that way depending on what the district demands.

[@YellowBussesAndCars]

Really interesting! But we in Ukraine don't have such buses only engines.

[@jaeluatl]

Don’t feel bad the rest of the world has engines too. The bus is new. They just designed it California Oakland county is the first one to deploy fleet of electric school buses.

[@jaymistry9311]

yeah, everything is nice pretty looking in the beginning but what about when you have a -30 degree condition with the charging plug frozen in ice and there's no way to charge the bus or when the bus stops due to the fact that's its not charged enough. I'm a truck tech and I am starting to see this a lot on the EV Transport trucks.

[@JoseVentura-f4b]

Front of the school bus look mean😆😆😆

[@boiii3productions945]

TOUCH CONTROLS? To be honest, I would prefer actual buttons you have to press since it’s possible they would have to be wiped clean and you don’t want those to be accidentally triggered. This is coming from outside the bus industry but yet I do give second thought to stuff as I apply same logic like I would to cars.

[@artiebrewt3170]

Just for the record those electronics compartments look very vulnerable. In fact it is somewhat shocking to see that there is so little between the electronics and the weather. The doors are flimsy and unlocked and there's just a standard looking gasket for the door. It's very dangerous if water or salt gets in there and short-circuits the battery.

[@tval8780]

The bus itself looks great but I think the battery comportment shouldn’t be on the front. The steering wheel shouldn’t include amber/red and door buttons because you’ll chase them around. We got old international bus and I didn’t like it. And the bus needs underneath storage. Our eLion C has no storage so we ended up using either the last for rolls of seat for storage or the first four rolls. Or sometimes we use other buses that have storage (diesel/cng bus).

I happen to like diesel especially an old 2 stroke beautiful sounding Detroit. Like in my 42 year old GMC RTS that starts right up and readily capable of a cross country trip. While this electric bus will never outlast a diesel bus. BTW i noticed on this electric bus has an extra door to escape for when it catches on fire 🤣🤣🤣🤣

FABULOUS. But I'm rather disappointed that there's no provision whatsoever for disabled students to ingress/egress & have a dedicated place to safety sit in a wheelchair. I guess standards must be much lower in Nth America than in much of the rest of the world. Separately, I'm totally flabbergasted that there appears to be no rooftop or ground mounted solar arrays to reduce energy costs, cost of production, and reflect that this is a company focusing on the sustainability of transportation. Surely, this is a major oversight on the part of the company.

[@EmperorNefarious1]

Disabled students are usually bused seperately for safety. As this allows for a smaller bus to go door with a lift. The school bus sits high to keep kids above normal car accidents (This is being comprimised by larger and taller SUVs recently.) As such there is no kneeling bus, and the last thing anyone wants is a big bus sitting on a major road while the driver is outside working on a lift.

[@pinkelephants1421]

@@EmperorNefarious1 Thanks. It's slightly different here in the UK as legislation means most public forms of transport are automatically designed to have integrated kneeling and ramp features plus an area dedicated to wheelchair and pushchair users. This isn't to say that we don't have any similar types of disabled transport to what you're describing.
