Electric Buses are going through the painful process of proving itself to be worthy. Technology, reliability, and economics are their measuring sticks.
"Armidale is very cold in winter" Ah - ha-ha-ha. -5C is not "very cold". Try running those electric buses where it's really cold in winter - like -30C. They haven't done well so far - check out the experience of Edmonton, Alberta
All of those buses are created by fossil fuel energy, toxic chemicals and exploited workers. I would not trust the safety of a child on an electric bus. Further there is no electric bus made, now or a million years from now, that can replace the reliability of a diesel bus. Either you’re delusional, or an environmentalist, probably both.

Really any of us that get on a bus 🚌 don’t care if it’s electric diesel run by rainbows or unicorns
