I don't have a lot of faith in BYD busses actually working correctly. Proterra seems like the most solid design around, and looking on LinkedIn, it seems like they picked up a lot of people who worked at Tesla when things were going better over there.

Care to expand on why? It seems they are working correctly as they make over 500,000 vehicles a year whilst Proterra are claiming 375 since inception. [1]
