Why Tesla's are bad at towing!

BYD has produced 500,000 Bev buses. Most travel 155 miles on a charge with a battery capacity is 150 kwh.

The buses range in size from 23 feet to 60 feet.

These units are by no means perfect. But the operating costs are well below diesel units.

Not really a comparable example. These are mostly city busses that operate at 0 to 45mph (vast majority of time under 30mph). Assuming an 8hr shift, 155miles translates to an average of just under 20mph.

Aerodynamic losses are a couple orders of magnitude less than an RV running at 60mph steady and they have dedicated yards with custom charging stations to park at night.

For a city bus route, yes BEV will work now and likely you will see them take over the city bus market on fuel if nothing else. A diesel bus running 8hr a day burns a lot of fuel for the cost difference diesel vs electric fuel can pay for a pretty big upcharge on the initial price. Of course, this assumes the battery packs hold up long term as these busses get far more use than your average passenger vehicle.
