>Vermont internal combustion buses were extremely unreliable already and would struggle in the extremely hilly environment as soon as there was ice

Why do you think internal combustion engines have more than almost nothing at all to do with tire grip?

EVs are superior at traction control and torque vectoring using power controls.

You're splitting hairs between a turd and a polished turd here.

Throw air actuated chains on like every snowy municipality already does for their fire trucks and school busses and call it good. This solution is one every regional transit authority that deals in snow is already aware of and familiar with and it doesn't matter what your source of motive power is.

I looked up the specific bus in this article and we don't need to have an argument about this because the New Flyer buses involved don't have torque vectoring and have 1 central motor.

The drive is nearly identical to a regular diesel bus with an open differential, except it doesn't work in the winter.
