I wish there was more transparency on the maintenance side of things to compare running costs for EV vs ICE. The running costs and wear on the EVs will probably be significantly reduced enough to cause pause for further ICE investment on the local level.
Agree. I imagine that as these fleets grow you’ll see more of those figures. In my experience, the 10k service on my EV was just a tire rotation. $20. I certainly spent more than that in oil changes alone with my ICE in the first 10k miles. I imagine it will be the same for buses.
The downside is the significantly higher up front cost, but you make up for it in reduced fuel and maintenance costs, as well as a longer service life.
