(Around 400 mile range)
I didn’t see anything in the article mentioning if this range is with the bus empty, or full of passengers and luggage. I could’ve missed it though.
Loaded with passengers does not really affect range.
Yeah the weight of this chassis is likely incredible. Looks like the electric chassis can support 55,000lb coaches, so the chassis is likely 10,000-20,000lbs or more on its own with batteries. Total bus weight may be up to 70,000 lbs.
Even if you add 50 people each weighing 200lbs, that 10,000lbs is around 10% of the total weight.
