Can you outline a bit how cities are customising the buses?

I've a bit of the report posted here a week or so. There are over 20 companies (of course ones in US and EU paying 2-3x over Chinese ones) and I can't fathom what they are competing over. Seems like a huge waste of resources.

It's one of the difficulties in manufacturing for US entities is the huge amount of customization. Pretty much everything outside of the shell, battery pack and motor, can/is customized.

We of course think our tech is better.

I’d love to see a tech news blurb about the new DC Circulator buses - efficiency, durability, etc.

Live in Greenville, SC and was waiting for a Proterra comment. :)

I work out of Bay Area office in Burlingame.

I'm back in the Greenville site a bunch. Really nice area, the downtown is super active, people really friendly. My wife and I have it on the think about list for bugging out of CA.

Plus they just bought some of our buses.

Cool! I saw Proterra made the new DC Circulator buses.

I like the red, they stand out.

I see they're being used in Seattle :)
