What’s the problem with less smog in the city? It’s a fricking grant. Not tax payer dollars.

Some people find the dumbest stuff to complain about. “Heres a gift of 20 buses for your city. “

The RTA said $30 million of the grant will go toward building a microgrid of charging stations that will keep the system running during and after severe storms

Okay all weather stations? Since it's NOLA, whose relative will land that contract?

Another in the long list of reasons I left Nola.

Good luck going all electric. Let me know how it turns out.

I think billj found him a customer.

Every electric vehicle is incredibly heavy due to the batteries. It’s a good thing the streets in New Orleans are nice or this could be a problem
