    Until in 5-10 years when the batteries are fucked.

    That’s the beautiful thing about trolley buses - they do not need a (substantial) battery. They are basically trains on wheels.

    There are some places where battery powered buses make sense - for example, where I live, lucerne Switzerland, there is one bus line that just goes up and down a rather steep hill. By using recuperative braking, the battery powered bus is super efficient. For other, normal ‘high traffic’ lines, trolley makes so much more sense
