They can do anything they want, just don't pass on the cost to the end consumer via increase in bus fares.

Well, ultimately its for  the public transport Council to decide whether there will be any fare increase.

If you take buses frequently form the interchange, it can be a quick 5 min turn around during peak period.

I don't know if the smart alex who suggested electric buses for Singapore has taken public transport?

EV public buses? The bus can last to run the whole day meh? :huh: Since one full charge can last between 200km to 300km?!

China already a lot running on the road.

Expect battery to be huge.

Àlready ride in Shanghai last year, when move off basically a electric motor ummmmm sound. Very quuet.

Based on Fare formula, fare likely to reduce in 2022.

But dont know if the ride is better in an EV bus than diesel bus? Maybe find one day go take this EV bus?! [:p]

Still need driver to drive. Driver sudden breaking you will still feel unease.

Assuming  max it out  to 300km, a bus can last for 6x 50km trip each, i  think doable for a single shift but will not be able to run from morning to night. 

Next is the start stop nature of a bus, to expect 300km range would be a far fetch, what will worsen the range is when a battery have undergone many chrage and recharge , wont be surprise that it may drop to 150km range  . But I am just a layman, maybe I don't see what the LTA engineers do.

Ya lor. I don't think it is wise. our country so hot. the battery sure gone very fast one.

Unless they can do a solar electric bus. No need charging. can just keep going. Pressphoto3-cropped.jpg&f=1&nofb=1

Batteries last longer in hot weather, they get drained off quickly when the weather is cold.

Bus should really be a last mile transportation  as much as possible, so as long as it moves, I am fine with it .😁

With Regen braking, it may not be as bad as 150km.  Provided driver is properly trained.

Degradation of battery depends on how the battery is being set up.

For Taycan, there is a 20% buffer in battery capacity to prolong its life.
