If you think they use that diesel generator to charge it all the time you are dumb. Ok, so if they cruise on electric power and then fire up the generator(using diesel) to recharge, what's the point?

The point is it was an emergency charge. Just like if you ran out of gas and they come bring you gas. They aren't using generators to charge these buses except in emergencies, like this one.

What does it cost to have that as an add on? imagine if every EV had an option like that? For only an extra $10K you can have an emergency backup generator on your tesla...come and get it.

It isn't part of the bus. I have never needed one and most others have not either. Don't be dumb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every year for the next couple decades will see all time highs in EV sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
