Ideally, rezoning and infrastructure changes would reduce the need for school buses. We don’t have the time though, so this is a win. Hopefully production can ramp up and governments can create incentives for schools to buy these instead of dead dino powered buses.

Starting in a warm building can really help - the cabin is warm and the battery is warm when setting off, without using any of the battery.

To expand on that, couldn’t you also have a separate power source to warm up the bus before it was taken out on a cold morning? Something like an engine block heater for an ICE vehicle.

Not even a separate power source - most EVs can pre-heat (including battery heater) using the charge lead that is already connected.
