I love it when politicians pretend they are engineers. Energy requirements for heat? I'm sure that won't be an issue. Parents raise concerns over heat issues in electric school buses in Lake Shore Central School District
On the heels of a statewide mandate requiring all school bus purchases in New York State be electric by 2027, parents in the Lake Shore Central School District are speaking out, claiming some bus drivers are turning the heat down, or off completely, in an attempt to conserve battery life on their electric school buses.
The powers-that-be are assuring you that the buses meet the heating standards. The kids are telling a different story.
“They’re living in New York City, which is also La La Land, because this is a city-centric mandate,” Sen. Weik said in response to the NYSERDA’s assertions. “This might work in New York City where the bus routes might be a mile to a quarter of a mile long, and gas stations are hard to come by in a city that’s so overcrowded and developed, but that’s not the case for the rest of New York whether you’re on Long Island or Upstate.”
This is the MGUY Australia video Heaters in ELECTRIC school buses TURNED OFF to SAVE BATTERY
Every single electron you take out of that traction battery and which is not converted to motion of the vehicle will inevitably reduce the usable range of a full charge. But none of this seemed to concern the state of New York, which mandated that all school buses must be electric, despite the fact that it can get very cold in winter.
The video is just under 7 minutes.
