Proterra has manufactured various models over the years. With hydrogen power going away and the move to batteries, I guess, to allow for the weight of batteries they went to a composite frames that use a mix of resin, fiberglass, carbon fiber, balsa wood, and steel reinforcement plates that have cracking issues. That along with inflation that has caused the price of chargers to increase has parked these busses. They must be thinking time will heal.

We have new electric buses in Nottingham. They seem to work well, the drivers say they are good to drive. Made in china. Photo taken outside my front door, which is quite handy for the free rides us old folks get!

I believe those are Yutong, I don't think they are sold in the US. BYD which is also Chinese opened a factory in the US, and has gotten some decent orders, including LA
