Diesel school buses — bad idea? EV school buses? Now you’re talkin’! This week, we jump into the advantages of EV school buses from both a health and grid perspective. They’re apparently a hoot to drive, too. Next, the Ford F-150 Lightning wins MotorTrend’s Truck of the Year award, but should it have? One famous YouTuber might disagree. Then we talk about the Tesla Cybertruck, Ioniq 5 N shifting gears, Rivian, Mercedes-Benz, Lucid, and more!
