China is leading the world in electric vehicle adoption, with almost all city buses run on electric batteries. The U.S. has been slow to catch on, with only 300 electric buses delivered last year compared to China’s 78,000. That’s all starting to change, with some cities and companies leading the charge.

    I am living in Guangzhou. These buses are everywhere in China now. We had almost completely replaced all buses to the electric version especially in big cities.
  • @tristand1897
    I'm living in Shenzhen where Huawei and BYD are headquarterd. All buses and taxis in this city are electric made by BYD.
  • @tristanc1848
    Two good things to have China on the earth - 1. Prove concepts for future 2. one that you can always blame on
  • @Thommygun-qv7um
    Short answer: The USA is trailing behind in almost everything today expect in obesity....
  • @Zergcerebrates
    Eventually the US will accuse Chinese buses as national security risk. They've already did it to CRRC, the Chinese train manufacturer that made metro trains for Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia and LA.

    The best part I like about EV is their quietness, no more diesel engine noise in your ear.
  • @Ianmundo
    “New York plans to take its fleet all-electric by 2040”... 20 years from now, not exactly ambitious
  • @mxl8636
    2040 all elec buses in NY??? Some cities in China have achieved that goal many years ago.
  • @LeonNikkidude
    In US school buses are some of the worst emissions polluters in the world!Not all of them.Many of them especially in the past!
  • @omegabeta3305
    The stench of the exhaust from diesel engines alone should be enough reason to switch.
  • @260830107
    I still remember my first time riding an electric bus in the 2010 World Expo at Shanghai
  • @Glory-to-God.
    The only thing happening in a faster pace in US is the money printing.
  • @jal8298
    All the public buses and taxi cabs in Shenzhen, China are electric vehicles now. It is a city of 13 millions people!
  • @mangkanor165
    US is nowhere near in China when it comes to ebuses. Some buses in China are already autonomous, it can self charge, park and drive. Even Japan and European countries buys buses from China.

    To save everyone from a 12 minute video. The answer is simple: lack of interest groups and lobbying.
  • @youngstunt1891
    It’s because the USA are more worried about spending money on the military
  • @Bg12789
    In Mexico City we have electric buses from China , there very quiet en Bran new there awesome
  • Its very late for "first world country" USA to adapt all electric buses move, China has started it since 1 decade ago. The 4 first tier cities in China already have 95% all electric buses.
