I suspect that you don't live in europe.

In london, buses are a massive source of particulate and nitrogen pollution.

We've had hybrid buses for a good 5 years, some hydrogen ones as well (but only one or two routes)

However london has rolled out 100% electric buses in the last 3 years, and they've not caught fire at a faster rate than the diesel ones.

In London that makes sense because they already have a decent mode share. I suspect the bus mode share in Hamden, Connecticut is 1% or less.

for demand that makes sense, for justification of using EV or not, I don't think it really makes a difference.
