After reading the article it seems the order was placed without first checking to make sure they couldn’t be fulfilled in time, so the manufacturer did a rush job and that ended up being more costly than scaling up responsibly.

In other words, it wasn’t because they were electric. It was because the timeline of the requirement was unrealistic and incompatible with the capabilities of the manufacturer. All self-solving problems with continued adoption of electric buses.
