I guess we hope these busses will last 35+ years?

  Regular school buses appear to be in service around ten to fifteen years. https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-average-life-span-of-a-school-bus https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-average-life-span-of-a-sch... https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-average-life-span-of-a-school-bus https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-average-life-span-of-a-sch...

    I suspect it varies wildly on region. Rust is the biggest enemy in places that get snow. From that, I suspect seats get beat up.

  I mean what’s in em? Motors have very long service lives and can be replaced. So can batteries. Both can be recycled. The batteries may be way smaller/lighter by then too. The rest seems quite repairable as well. Is it worth it compared to getting new ones in 10-15 years (based on sibling comment)? I don’t know. But maybe electric fleet vehicles will change the calculus n when you refurbish them vs just replace them. Time will tell.
