@DoBetterLaura Awesome you got to see it live. When Concord received the first mass production electric school bus we couldn’t label or change the bus’s appearance in any way to distinguish it as electric because of the standard. Shortly after our bus was on the road the rules were changed. 🚌
Just finished driving bus#2 this morning in sub-zero temperatures. 🚌 ❄️ Despite the extreme cold, our electric bus performed amazingly well! 🔋 thanks to our transportation team getting kids to school in this winter weather! #lion#electricbus
