    There were a number of electric busses in the early 1900s. There are plenty of large electric people and material movers. They’ve been used for a hundred years now for underground mining.

      You mean trolley buses with overhead power lines? Doesn’t work so well for school routes that change.

          Were they able to keep up with modern traffic and go out to the suburbs and back?
