I have been of the opinion that the US government should have not pushed EV adoption by subsidizing moving all school buses to EV. The reasons are many but most important is having children used to the idea of EV as a good means for local travel, not having all those diesel buses spewing fumes on to people while loading and unloading at schools, and finally keeping school systems from financial issues incurred by rising fuel costs.

This page gives the numbers of one of Georgia's largest school bus fleets. http://www.cobbk12.org/centraloffice/Transportation/

(numbers)

    875 Bus Drivers
    139 Bus Monitors
    886 Conventional Buses
    288 Special Needs Buses
    870 Routes per day
    37,530 Bus Stops per day
    68,673 Miles Traveled per day
    72,544 Students Transported each day


Extraneous "not"?

"...should have not pushed EV adoption..."
