Just remember that they need to work on the coldest days: keeping the heat on. Including enough spare capacity for go in the ditch situations. This is well within the ability of an electric bus/truck. However if you don’t account for that situation people will die in worst case situations where a gas tanks throws out plenty of extra heat. (the gas engine has other dangers of course, but the heat byproduct of how inefficient the engine is, is a useful feature that is often not accounted for correctly)
Still in delivery applications (including students), ICEs are at about their most inefficient and electric motors do very well. They would save a ton of money long term.
