Power grids across the country are facing a growing threat as sweltering heatwaves continue to strain the nation's energy infrastructure. In a bid to mitigate this crisis, a novel solution has emerged: electric school buses. These vehicles, normally used to transport students to and from school, are being repurposed to serve as mobile power banks, providing much-needed electricity to communities in need. By leveraging the batteries of these electric buses, officials are hoping to shore up fragile power grids and keep the lights on for families and businesses struggling to cope with the heat.
