In this clip from the latest episode of the the Thinking Transportation podcast from the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI), research scientist John Overman explains how some of the technical challenges of delivering practical battery electric buses are now being overcome. However, as you will hear if you listen to the whole episode on the Thinking Transportation homepage or your favorite streaming service, cities working to become leaders in clean transportation are electrifying their bus fleets, and learning that the road to success can be a bumpy one.
