Anyway what's green about running a bus on batteries?


Because you can put energy back into them when braking, just like a
lot of modern trains put energy back into the overhead wire (assuming
something is there to consume it) when they brake.

I don't believe there is any plan to charge the batteries overnight,
the diesel engine will do that.
