Alan, Please understand the objective - they set out to create a new record, not to test the bus in real world operation. Their claim is that now that they have a new world record and smashed it by an enormous amount, their bus can do a daily driving routine without running out of juice. I am not thinking about Greyhound, the long-distance interstate driving model, but the urban / sub-urban bus routes that may be 50 miles long (San Francisco to San Jose for example) but take several hours to complete a round trip. For even those gruelling services that even a Tesla might not be able to complete without refuelling during the day, this bus should have enough juice on-board. So I think they have a point. Now the question is if they can find a market...

So the bus traveled at about 25mph. Totally unacceptable in a real world situation. According to Brighsun, the bus started its journey at 10pm Saturday November 14 and achieved the record distance just before midnight on the following Sunday, in the presence of a Guinness World Record adjudicator. _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org Read EVAngel's EV News at http://evdl.org/evln/ Please discuss EV drag racing at NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA) _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org Read EVAngel's EV News at http://evdl.org/evln/ Please discuss EV drag racing at NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
