Obviously I know there's the argument for layover anyway but if it comes in late like some buses do pretty much every run then that could be an interesting debate.

What you mean we can't go I'm sitting on the f**king bus I could see be a popular complaint.

Guess it all depends on the price of Hydrogen vs Pure Electric aswell long term aswell. Lot's of things but I genuinely do think Hydrogen will be the future, especially since it's just easier without having to charge them etc. Not to mention batteries degrade, be interesting to see if they reduce in range over time which will be a very expensive upgrade potentially mid life (or an early withdrawal).

The amount of degradation depends on how much overprovisioning the manufacturer decides to incorporate.

For example, the battery pack might be 450kWh, but only 400kWh is available to be used. That means the battery can degrade 10% without having any impact on the range.

The downside though is the range is reduced compared to if they just used the full capacity!
