Here is what is happening locally where I live: https://www.seattleweekly.com/news/king-county-rolls-on-with...

I happen to live near both of the routes (downtown Bellevue) that have already been electrified, so it already seems like a huge thing here, even though they are just getting started.

(Incidentally, the same thing was true in Beijing when I lived on their first battery electric route 7 years ago)

Yes, I know. But it isn’t like electric buses aren’t getting traction here in the states at all. Where public transportation is really a thing, this is happening.

China has public transportation everywhere of course, though you’ll see these buses in shanghai and Beijing but not yet in tier 3’s (at least last time I checked a couple of years ago, it will change eventually).

I believe that is correct, though LA is a much bigger city than Seattle also.

Because I never made that claim in the first place. I only meant more than before, not more than China, that should have been obvious from context but I edited my comment to make that more clear.

Sorry if it wasn’t clear in my comment, I meant “a lot more” as in “more and more”, not “more than China”. I wasn’t trying to claim that he USA had more electric buses than China (that should have been obvious isn’t the second sentence, but I edited my comment to make it clearer), only that parts of the USA are undergoing an electric bus revolution at the moment also (to counteract parent that said we are just obsessed with oil).
