I have taken my 2017 Leaf from Boulder (through the Eisenhower Tunnel or over Loveland Pass) to Summit County, Colorado. But, one of these days I’ll give it a go. I’ve taken is skiing and hiking, etc. at other locations. But, it’s hard to estimate what range I’ll have going up the I-70 before the pass. I know I’ll gain a bunch of energy down the big hill after the pass. In any case, I spotted this electric bus while in Breckenridge. I believe it’s a Proterra. Compared to the other diesel-electric, this was nice and quiet, and seemed to smoothly cruise up the steep and winding mountain roads in the infamous ski town. The Town of Breckenridge has a goal to electrify 100% of its busses by 2030. Sent from my iPhone using Inside EVs
Proterra had a few in Philly, but they have been sidelined. https://whyy.org/articles/septas-cracking-battery-buses-raise-questions-about-the-future-of-electric-transit/
Proterra just filed for bankruptcy. https://insideevs.com/news/681014/proterra-files-for-bankruptcy-protection/ I know there are a few of these in BC, incl the Island. https://www.vancouverislandfreedaily.com/news/first-electric-transit-bus-lands-in-victoria-open-to-public-early-next-year/ https://www.oakbaynews.com/news/four-new-all-electric-buses-join-the-greater-victoria-school-district-fleet-535372
