Electric Bus Loses Power Going Up Hill, Rolls Backward and Crashes Into Line of Cars
Electric Bus Loses Power Going Up Hill, Rolls Backward and Crashes Into Line of Cars
Electric vehicles sure do seem safe and effective. Or am I mixing my propaganda?
According to social media user Xian Ke, a Google-operated electric bus suffered a power loss on Monday morning while attempting to scale one of San Francisco’s many hills. The out-of-control bus then rolled down the hill and crashed into nine vehicles.
Monday on X, formerly Twitter, Ke posted a 10-second clip of the crash’s aftermath.
From the video, it appeared that the bus had driven two vehicles onto a wide sidewalk. One of the vehicles looked wedged between a tree and a concrete or metal pole.
The side of the gray bus proudly featured the words “100% Battery Electric.”
Ke explained that the video and incident description came from a friend.
“Some local journalists need to be on this: ‘A google bus lost its power while going up the hill and roll back and hit 9 cars this morning outside of my place’ (Castro district, SF). Video from my friend below,” Ke posted.

The California Bay Area news outlet KTVU reported that the crash resulted in one hospitalization and multiple damaged vehicles.
Would you ride on an electric bus?
According to that same report, however, the crash’s cause “remains under investigation.” Indeed, “[n]either the SFPD nor Google explained what caused the collision.”
Fancy that. Neither Google nor the police would confirm what an eyewitness reported: The electric bus lost power. Good thing the bus did not write an anti-white manifesto and then murder Christians. In that case, we would not know about it until the bus’s manifesto leaked seven months later.
Even the KTVU story seemed subtly calculated to protect the EV narrative. In the first line of that story, the word “electric” appeared in quotation marks, as if that part of the story somehow remained in doubt.
And when did Google get into the transportation business?
In any case, the reaction on social media was predictable.
“Yay for green energy!!! Destructively eco-friendly!” self-described “Recovered Radical Leftist” and MAGA supporter Colton Weeks posted.

“Lololol electric brakes are fun when you lose electricity,” another X user sarcastically wrote.

The electric vehicle issue has always struck me as simple. If you want one, purchase one. I wish you well.
But the people who push those vehicles with relentless ferocity also believe that we can alter the climate by giving more power to people like themselves. In short, they lie. And they enlist others — tech companies, establishment media and even local police — to amplify the lie.
Thus, when they demand that we all switch to EVs, their demand alone amounts to mathematical proof that we must not.

How can manufacturers and governing bodies evaluate and address the capability and limitation of electric buses on challenging terrains?

Electric vehicles have gained popularity for their environmental benefits and fuel efficiency. However, recent events have raised concerns about the safety and effectiveness of these vehicles. One incident that caught the attention of social media users involved a Google-operated electric bus in San Francisco.
According to a social media user named Xian Ke, the electric bus experienced a power loss while attempting to climb one of San Francisco’s steep hills. As a result, the bus rolled backward and crashed into nine vehicles. Ke shared a video clip of the aftermath on their social media platform, highlighting the damage caused by the out-of-control bus.
The video showed the bus pushing two vehicles onto a wide sidewalk, with one vehicle wedged between a tree and a concrete or metal pole. Interestingly, the side of the bus proudly displayed the words ”100% Battery Electric.” Ke mentioned that the video and incident description came from a friend living in the Castro district of San Francisco and urged local journalists to cover the incident.
Subsequently, the California Bay Area news outlet KTVU reported on the crash, stating that one person was hospitalized, and multiple vehicles were damaged.
The incident raises questions about the safety and reliability of electric buses, particularly when faced with challenging terrains like San Francisco’s steep hills. While electric vehicles have shown promise for their environmental impact, incidents like these remind us that there are still risks associated with their implementation.
In light of this event, it is essential to consider the safety measures and precautions required when operating electric buses, especially in hilly areas. It is incumbent upon manufacturers and governing bodies to thoroughly evaluate the capabilities and limitations of electric vehicles before deploying them on public roads.
As the public, it is crucial to stay informed about incidents like this and critically assess the overall safety and effectiveness of electric buses. While electric vehicles offer numerous advantages, such as reduced emissions and lower operating costs, it is equally important to address any concerns related to their performance and safety.
In conclusion, the recent incident involving a Google-operated electric bus losing power and crashing into a line of cars raises questions about the safety of electric buses, particularly on steep hills. This incident highlights the need for thorough evaluations and safety measures when implementing electric vehicles, ensuring the safety of both passengers and other road users.
