And still don't have an explanation for where this non-polluting electricity actually comes from. Asked multiple times and the environ mentalists still don't answer.

Whitelee Windfarm where they are paid not to generate electricity because there is no storage and not the National Grid demand for what they can produce.

& the Turbines still keep going up.

From 2016.  

Then there is like the Orkney's or just Aberdeen where they are producing hydrogen where there is spare capacity.

No point not using the electricity that is still being produced overnight.

Charge the Batteries at the EV charging stations, Bus Station, Post Office Depot, Council Depot and the vehicles batteries.

There are 200 Electric Buses in Glasgow.

Not all working.

 

Seemingly it is a structural issue and not the batteries.

(I remember that when some companies Hydrogen Powered buses had to be off the road that was all a Structural issue.)

We're supposed to be getting some here soon, but currently there is zero sign of any activity towards the power getting installed.

We now have 55 100% electric buses operating out of just one garage at present, which is Basildon, with a staggering investment for those 55 of £30.6 million; God knows what the final cost is to reequip all of the depots with them.560174787_1134458085494142_3108427345644118552_n.jpg553270309_1134458152160802_1083620176639369391_n.jpg
