Biden administration plows forward with electric buses even as cities stuck with inoperable vehicles

Cities across the U.S. have purchased electric buses that are inoperable and cannot be repaired. Despite such problems, the Biden administration is providing school districts with $1 billion in taxpayer money to help them transition many of their buses over to electric.
Many of the buses used by transit departments were manufactured by Proterra, which President Joe Biden heavily promoted. The company went bankrupt in August, which has made it hard to get parts and services for the buses, which transit departments are reporting have a number of problems.
The city of Asheville, North Carolina, is the latest municipality to find itself with million-dollar buses it cannot use. The city, Fox News reports, spent millions in 2018 to add five buses to its fleet. Three of them are out of commission due to mechanical and software problems, and one has a broken door that can’t be replaced.
Quixotic and futile.

The scary thing is 'How much of the U.S. Military is left holding the bag' on EV-expectations.

I wonder if Biden is getting his 10% from each bus.
