Wow! This is bad about electric school buses. They're not using the heater during winter cause it drains the battery in New York!😱FREEZE FACTOR: Parents in western New York are sounding the alarm after a new mandate requires all school bus purchases to be electric by 2027 — and they say kids are already paying the price with cold rides and frequent breakdowns.One local grandmother says she was horrified after her grandson came home from school and told her the heat on his bus wasn’t even turned on:“He said they didn’t have heat. He came in cold, and I told him, I said, ‘Isn’t the bus warm?’ And he said, ‘No, they can’t put the heat on because it drains the battery.’”
