re: Philadelphia’s Proterra Fleet of Electric Buses in Complete Shambles

To you and to anyone else who thinks this is some sort of “gotcha” or proof that the Leftist EV agenda is blowing up in the face of reality, you need to realize something - you are dead wrong.

The goal of the Leftists is not to replace ICE vehicles with alternate fuel source vehicles that give the same level of service. Best case scenario is that they don’t care but it’s more likely that they want to make travel more difficult. They want people out of their cars that give them independence to move freely and they’d rather piss off people who use public transportation bad enough to say “F it - I’m going to sit home and collect a check and keep voting for the folks who tell me I deserve more and the other guys want to take it away.”

Cities like L.A. do little or nothing to solve their traffic problems. They think that traffic is a bad thing and seek to punish those people who contribute to the problem, the drivers. Meanwhile, just one more perk of being in the political class will be access to reliable transportation.
