Biden Boondoggle: Connecticut’s E-Bus Fleet Sits Idle After Battery Inferno

electric bus fireA fleet of 11 electric buses belonging to CT Transit in Connecticut is still out of service following a massive battery fire that occurred in July, the state’s Department of Transportation says.

In July, a battery fire caused an electric bus to burst into flames in Hamden, Connecticut. Luckily, no one died in the inferno, although two transit workers and two firefighters were hospitalized as a result of the blaze, and a federal investigation was triggered. [bold, links added]

In September, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) issued a preliminary report detailing how the electric bus operated by CT Transit became engulfed in flames while parked at a maintenance facility, according to a report by NHPR.

I'd like to see how well those E-buses perform going up and icy or snowy hill during Winter.

I'm sure the range estimates for e-vehicles are based on flat or downhill road tests.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

And warm weather. That's a lot of cubic feet to heat...

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

C S Lewis
