The Rise and Fall of Electric Buses | A Costly Gamble

from The Motor Files Podcast · host Chris Clarke

In this documentary, we analyze Edmonton's ambitious venture into electric bus technology, from its hopeful beginnings in 2016 to its disastrous outcome in 2023. We explore the city's journey from optimism to financial ruin, highlighting the challenges, setbacks, and legal battles that led to an $82 million claim against the electric bus manufacturer. What can we learn from Edmonton's experience as we uncover the cautionary tale of rushing into unproven technologies and the importance of careful planning in the pursuit of sustainability.Grab a copy of my book:https://partsmanagerpro.gumroad.com/l/qtqax"The Parts Manager Guide" - https://www.amazon.com/Parts-Manager-Guide-Strategies-Maximize-ebook/dp/B09S23HQ1P/ref=sr_1_4?crid=3UZYOGZJUNJ9K&keywords=parts+manager+guide&qid=1644443157&sprefix=parts+manager+guid%2Caps%2C244&sr=8-4Please remember to like, share and leave your comments.Videos are uploaded weekly.Visit my website for more!https://www.partsmanagerprof.com/If you want me to continue making videos like these, please donate to our paypal account: paypal.me/partsmanagerproFair use is a use permitted by copyright statute that might otherwise be infringing.
