Letter: Electric Vehicle standards would be a bad choice for Maine

BANGOR DAILY NEWS • December 19, 2023

I run a bus business, and we contract with schools to transport students to school and to sporting events. We had the opportunity to use an electric bus, and I can say from that experience, it would never meet the needs of the school systems. There’s no way to transport kids without spending hours charging, the bus had to be heated with diesel because the battery could never support that high need for power, and the battery could catch on fire. ~ Wayne Luce, Hope
