Back in the early 60's, in New Orleans on Canal Street, there were electric buses that were powered by a grid of overhead power lines,.

That Faraday Future's FF Zero i wouldn't last a mile on New Orlean's streets. I also want to see one of those cars make it over the mountains that pass for speed bumps nowadays.

Well, heck, I just drove that bad boy into my auto shop and had my boys added a few lifters to give it a bit more clearance!

Before Bud's Custom Body Shop conversion



Now it can handle those speed bumps with ease. Very Happy

After Bud's Custom Body Shop conversion

Back in the early 60s, when I was a child, we would go to Canal Street in New Orleans to go to the big stores. At the time there were electric buses on Canal St. that were powered by overhead power lines, like a Street Car. I still remember the grid work of power lines above the street so the buses could change lanes. I don't remember the year they went away.
