yes, true on the weight

currently, the energy density of batteries is one tenth of diesel, meaning that you need TEN times the weight of batteries to have the same energy of diesel

Yeah, not only that.. The damn thing is a death trap if the battery is damaged by something as simple as some crap on the road or a really bad pot hole. The "Battery" bus will go up in flames with toxic gas and nearly impossible to extinguish while the Diesel bus will (probably) just get a fluid leak that needs to be cleaned up or in some more rare cases a slow burn that can be extinguished with well known and practices procedures.

Well, Apparently there was a massive explosion caused by car (EV) batteries just this week in Uzbekistan. Killed 1 teen so far and over 160+ injured. People said they could hear/feel the blast over 20 miles away.
