Capital Metro Transportation Authority in Autstin Texas has announced overwhelmingly positive results from their new electric buses, finding they are performing “a good bit better than we thought.” The two electric buses they have started using have had longer ranges than expected while also drastically cutting emissions. They are receiving all the electric buses they originally ordered this month, and plan on replacing more of their diesel buses with zero-emission options.
