New favourite clip from Japanese news just dropped

#BusNews: New Plymouth’s urban bus fleet is now fully electric, with 11 new electric buses added to it. The electric buses were a long-planned but timely switch from diesel power, given the hike in fuel prices. Via The Post: thepost.co.nz/nz-news/360980…

Untungla anak somebody..

@nzsd @wiremu_wilson @urbanaut2 Thank you the bard of Hutt City!

@wiremu_wilson @telukwaitemata @urbanaut2 Wellington had 60 fully electric trolleybuses until 2017 so the first year of that graph should show a big drop that doesn't then recover until 2021

Not UK, not USA, not Australia, not Norway, not Switzerland not Singapore. New Zealand.

@basilbiker @spidercatnz Yes, I drive an ICE car everyday too but I agree that the EV tech is far superior

@spidercatnz @telukwaitemata What's your point? Are you pretending ICE vehicles don't catch fire?

There is a special place in hell reserved for selfish drivers parking their cars to block buses from providing service to those who don’t have cars

Quite flattering when cookers lose their minds to my posts

@Betnzkiwi @stupidtechtakes We're already doing this with Plastic

@stupidtechtakes @telukwaitemata Gosh, thats wonderful news. I trust when they get shipped offshore to be recycled in third world dumping grounds both the ships and recycling plants are electric or solar powered.

@HendoWest Yessir

How good eh

@spidercatnz Only one caught fire. The ones getting procured are a lot

@telukwaitemata It looks to never dip. Not even slightly. Do they not get deregistered when they catch fire and burn themselves and the surrounding area to ashes?

@Sportsfan4233 @chadley_cooper_ @vrateek Well they sure are much cheaper to run now. While I get that emissions can be virtue signalling I don't wanna inhale diesel fumes after a bus passes by

@chadley_cooper_ @vrateek @telukwaitemata Good. If they're better and more cost effective then those are fantastic reasons to buy them. Virtue signaling about emissions is not a good reason.

@PaulBMcGill @carlworker For a population of 68M

@telukwaitemata @carlworker UK has over 2,500

@Sportsfan4233 You don't inhale much diesel fumes.

@telukwaitemata And it hasn't changed anything for anyone

@urbanaut2 That was in 1964. We are talking about present-day.

@telukwaitemata Not Wellington, NZ. They took out electric trolley buses and replaced with diesels… were the trolley buses removal included in the numbers?

Ebus For me

CYCLONE VAIANU ⚠️🌀🚨 Cyclone Vaianu is likely to move across the North Island on Sunday, 12 April. If it does, it will bring damaging, potentially life-threatening winds. However, uncertainty remains in the cyclone's exact track, so the locations of the most severe winds are not yet certain. As confidence in the track increases, parts of this Watch will be upgraded to Orange or possibly Red Warnings. 🟠🔴 Vaianu will also bring heavy rain, with Heavy Rain Watches and/or Warnings likely to be issued on Thursday for some areas. High chance of upgrading to a Warning. 📢 More information: metservice.com/warnings @NZcivildefence

Stage 1 of Simplicity Living's Reiputa development in Mount Wellington is now 90% tenanted, with Stage 2 now leasing Reiputa features approx 7,500m2 of landscaped gardens, a 180m2 pavilion at ground & a 400m2 rooftop terrace on level 11 What do you think of this development?

a fun prank would be to spend millions deconstructing a heritage wall block by block only to rebuild it a few meters away including the original stairs but then block off said stairs with iron bars
