    You can’t get demonstration grants for an established technology. If you want to get free money for these things it needs to be novel.

    Regardless, anything is better than diesel. I ride my bike on a now almost all electric bus route. I hold my breath much less often now. The reduced particulates is enough to show in the graphs for Wellington
