LONDON E-BUS BLAZE PROVES ELECTRIC BUSES ARE A JOKE

EV Channels Review

John Cadogan delivers a scathing critique of electric buses, using a recent London fire incident as a focal point. He argues that the push for electric public transport, driven by what he terms 'green zealots,' prioritizes virtue signaling over public safety and practical implementation. Cadogan highlights numerous instances of electric bus failures, including fires, range issues in cold weather, and poor reliability, citing examples from London, Australia, and various North American cities. He contrasts these failures with the perceived reliability and lower cost of diesel buses, suggesting that the current transition to electric fleets is a dangerous, ill-conceived experiment on society. The review concludes that while electric transportation has a place, its current implementation, particularly for mass transit, is flawed, costly, and poses significant risks, with the potential for long-term health consequences from hazardous materials released during fires.
