CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Electric buses will soon officially hit the streets of Charlotte after the city council officially passed the new pilot program.
There will be 18 electric buses from three different companies to see how the various buses keep their charge. The pilot program is expected to last 12 to 18 months.
Braxton Winston was the only member who voted to not approve. Earlier in the meeting, he talked about how this plan gets "closer" to goals but it's not enough to truly have an impact on fossil fuels and emissions.
