Nonsense. An Ampera only has a genny engine. NO transmission.

So it uses a generator to drive an electric motor. Brilliant. Most
makers abandoned that idea in the 1920s as it was too complex and
unreliable.

The simplest arrangement besides a full EV is the series hybrid using a
genny engine and electric drive motor. It was sometimes known as the
"electric transmission".

You obviously did not notice that technology has moved on from the 1920s.
Duh.

Modern hybrid buses are crap. Look at the supercapacitor busses in
Shanghai.

Which can just about make it from one stop to the next.

And more. The bus is designed to go from stop to stop. Don't you know how
bus networks work and what bus stops are for? Duh.
