FREEZING KIDS: NY's Electric Bus Disaster EXPOSED!

The transition to electric vehicles isn't unfolding as smoothly as some predicted. Just days after a major automaker announced substantial losses tied to overinvesting in EV production, a troubling situation is emerging in New York state.

A new statewide mandate requires all school buses to be electric, but parents are already voicing serious concerns, particularly given the region’s harsh winters. Reports indicate a disturbing trend: bus drivers are reducing or completely shutting off the heat to conserve battery power.

Children are arriving home complaining of frigid conditions on their buses, with parents resorting to providing hand warmers. The core problem lies in the buses’ design – the heating system draws power from the same battery that powers the vehicle itself.

Beyond the discomfort, these buses are frequently breaking down. One parent recounted a recent incident where their child waited over 35 minutes in the cold for a replacement bus, which arrived more than half an hour late. The extended routes exacerbate the issue, leaving students exposed to the cold for significant periods.

This policy originated in a state with strong political leanings towards electric vehicle adoption, driven by a broader push to electrify transportation. The initiative gained momentum with support from prominent figures and widespread agreement among many lawmakers.

Taxpayers have funded this transition with millions of dollars, yet the current reality reveals a clear disparity between the promise and the performance of these electric buses. Even sources generally supportive of the EV movement acknowledged the challenges of cold-weather operation.

Warnings about reduced range and charging difficulties in cold weather were issued well before the mandate took effect. Despite these foreseeable issues, the policy was implemented, seemingly prioritizing ideological goals over the well-being of students.

The situation highlights a critical flaw in the rush to embrace electric vehicles without fully considering practical implications and potential consequences. The comfort and safety of children should not be compromised in pursuit of environmental objectives.
