Proterra's electric bus can travel 350 miles before recharging

Whilst not super impressive given the fact that they have whooping great big batteries (But also more weight to pull too), buses often only do travel locally, and have dedicated stations for them to charge at, at night time. It could of course mean that well the buses can run on all electric in the day, and just charge in their bus stations overnight

Though I reckon fare prices won't really go down, because well it does cost double the price of ordinary diesel powered buses. I can however see cities like London, New York and some Chinese cities potentially buying something like this in the future. London...maybe not so much yet, because they have only fairly recently bought the Routemaster hybrid buses at a cost of £285,000 each (or say $400,000) to reduce emissions

I imagine the Chinese cities will be interested in order to...

Whilst not strictly necessarily about hybrid, EV and alt fuel news, autonomous cars and EV cars tend to go hand.

Of course, this could potentially be added to ICE cars too

Geohot will sell a semi-autonomous driving kit this year

The Chevy Bolt will have a 238-mile range

I'm starting to get nostalgic for all those Chevys I grew up in!
