My example would be to buy an ev with 12, 16 or 20 luxury seats, four wheel steering, panoramic-esque windows, a completely flat floor, NSA, Wi-Fi, charging points etc....
I hate buses with a completely flat floor, I prefer to be higher, I've never seen anyone complain about a bus having steps at the back.

Should be enough.
Should be enough for anyone who needs to take the bus, but not for someone who has a car who may be thinking of getting the bus
