From my research, it looks like BYD is the number one electric bus seller in the world. I like the idea of challenging them.

BYD has a 250 km range listed on this site but a 4 hour charge time:

So basically once you drive your 250 km you're dead in the water until the next day. All routes would have to be limited to less than their range.

They claim in testing that they can go much further, over 200 miles.

I expect the same thing with our ZJMY bus.

Range 430 km = 267 miles but probably much more in testing. Usually manufacturers have to be conservative in specs. Not sure if the buses are empty when they test the range.

Even without factoring in the extended range, the ability to quick swap the battery would make ours the clear winner. (I'm assuming they would implement quick swap on our buses?).

Many articles I read suggest most buses are going electric by 2025 or 2030. Not going to post them, those types of articles are abundant.

Here's hoping we pick up a bunch of bus contracts.

Thanks again Floridany!
