(Yesterday, 9:02 pm)Storx wrote Didn't know that makes even more potentially likely then.The EV buses do require coolant like a diesel bus, guessing to help cool the battery’s so they do need that topped up only engineers trained on the EV’s can do that same with unplugging them from charge (at least at Slatyford). Apart from that the EV’s are lot better. I wonder when all depots go fully electric what will happen to engineers, there’ll be no need for them at least on a scale of how they’re used now.
That was a merger last time wasn't it rather than an outstation?
Must admit I haven't looked into how EV buses work but I know with EV cars there's very few moving parts so there's no changing the oil, fuel filters and all that sort of stuff.
Just not sure they'll actually need the engineering there bar basic stuff like changing a tyre.
If they're similar to cars, there's just nothing to really do unless it has severe issues. It's one of the pros of EV vehicles.
Wouldn't be surprised to see the same with others either with one major place dealing with all the big issues then everywhere else being down to the bare minimum. Any £££ they'll jump at it.
