Good morning. Nope. I'm talking full electric. I think the last two announcements I noticed were San Diego and Edmonton. Can't remember the rest but on one of the EV forums I follow there have been quite a few stories of various cities in the world making the switch.

Large scale installations or a few test units?

I do a little work with transit (not bus purchase but telematics on them) and hybrid is pretty much become the standard as it's a minimal cost difference and produces big results. Outside test cases and some small scale specialty uses haven't seen any large scale pure electrics.

Good morning. Well I don't much about this kinda thing. Just what I read on various medias, but when I read about cities replacing some or all of their fleets with electrics I would think it is past the proof of concept phase. I would be interested in seeing how the numbers wash out though. Many of the cities using the new technology are overseas but there are a dozen or so in North America as well. One of the manufacturers are not too far from me in Burnaby but many are in China as well.
