[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jan 8, 2015 FCPS had to close unexpectedly when the buses would not start Jan 19, 2019 FCPS had a two hour delay when they anticipated that the buses would not start. (Announced the night before) Honest question - do we have better technology now? At what temperature is starting buses an actual issue? Are drivers reporting early to work to address any issues? [/quote] FCPS has 70 electric buses. This is small number in their fleet of over 1,500 buses. I wonder if the electric buses are able to run this weather or if they need to go back to the depot more frequently to get recharged. [/quote] They can run. There is no reason they wouldn’t turn on due to the cold. Their range (rated at a couple hundred miles) is reduced in cold weather (largely due to running heat), but even with reduced range it is still plenty to complete daily runs. [/quote]
