[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did the County ever figure out if the electrical grid could handle the additional load recharging all of these buses?  I'm not talking about installing more charging stations, but about having sufficient electrical capacity to prevent brownouts and power outages?

And did MCPS figure out how all these buses will be charged without leaving them unmonitored or left on chargers at night (which is a safety hazard - it's poured buckets last night, so electricity and water don't mix well)?  Or what they'll do if it gets too hot to safely recharge?  (ex. similar to leaving your iPhone on your dashboard in summer and trying to charge it when it's overheated)

When you post link to tabloids like that it's hard to take your claims seriously  Sources matter.

Does anyone know if MCPS is going to build massive solar bus shelters with rechargers instead of everything being exposed to the elements?

Trying to figure out whether this is a really well done plan, or just another MCPS boondoggle the taxpayer will need to pay for somewhere down the line?[/quote]

All great questions and I hope MCPS has answers or has thought about it in any RFP. However, if the electric school-bus contract is really a "service"-type contract as shown by other PPs before, we can expect MCPS to simply point finger or direct these questions to the contractor

The same person who was canned for embezzlement from MCPS set up this deal. Go find him and ask him your questions. LOL[/quote]

OMG OMG so crazy but shouldn't we call these coal-powered busses or nuclear-powered busses since they rely on nuclear and coal?  Is MCPS is trying to pull a fast one by mislableing these as electric?[/quote]
A lot more natural gas than coal in MD.[/quote]

"natural" gas :D[/quote]
