There are so much energy wastage in the Primary and Secondary setup. Also, whether the bus is there in the area or not, current in the primary coil continuously circles, it is also wastage of power,

there’s actually no reason why new electric buses or trams should have overhead lines now — they can easily be grounded. the only places in the US i know of that consider keeping them above ground are places that want that old, traditional look.

They’re new. They have to prove themselves first. If this first generation proves out then we should see rapid adoption.

I hate electric buses with their overhead power lines. Thanks for making the city even uglier.

These buses though, fantastic! No power lines and no diesel exhaust.

Great news.

I just don’t understand why electric buses are not catching on more quickly. They should be plenty competitive when all costs are factored in.
