Citing infrastructure costs, Batesville School District turns down EV school bus grants available to four Arkansas districts

An Arkansas school district selected for a federal rebate to help fund the purchase of an electric school bus has declined to move forward with the purchase while another district selected for the program is trying to decide whether it can afford the purchase due to the high purchase and infrastructure costs that have posed a hurdle for electric-vehicle adoption nationwide.
