Many more such blows to the EV market and there’ll be nothing left of it except for an enormous debt to taxpayers and “temporarily” permanent job losses.
The electric bus company says some 300 employees will be let go in the coming days in a 30 per cent cut to its workforce. It expects most of the layoffs to be temporary.
Lion Electric previously laid off about 220 employees in a pair of announcements in February and April.
faster please …….
So most normal people don’t like spending a couple hours “gassing “ up their car every couple hundred miles, or replacing the $50000 battery if you scratch the cover on it? Never woulda guessed.
Transit is the worst thing for green energy.. The failure is measurable..
So when the battery plants flop in Ontario….. And yet another ” the Emperor has no clothes” moment bursts forth like it’s a surprise.
Will whoever is responsible be used as a jumper between a couple terminals ?
Anyone that seen a fat little toad in one of those old mosquitoes zappers will know what I mean.
Can we invoke the concept of “Odious debts” for all debts that the taxpayer was saddled with in order to enrich connected liberals?
Odious … a perfectly descriptive term. And these “bad” debts lead to government demanding tax increases to fund their folly and waste. Making other people pay for YOUR stupidity … what a concept
We have a good fleet of trolley buses. More please.
Yeah,those layoffs are going to be “temporary” .
As temporary as Income Tax?
Electric buses are failing everywhere.

Of the thousands of electric buses that cities have been suckered into buying, I would bet a tiny fraction are still working. Edmonton successfully operated electric streetcars and then trolley buses for 100 years. Just as everyone was being sold on electric buses, about 15 years ago they ripped out the trolley lines. Stupid buttholes. Edmonton now has 60 battery powered electric buses that don’t work from a company that went bankrupt.

I’m curious if the bioenergy batteries being promoted now have any better value than EVs. It seems the energy economy is less than gas but somewhat better than electric.
