The American company Proterra Inc. has reported that its Catalyst E2 Max (Electric Bus) has run 1,102.2 miles (1,772.21 kilometers) on one charge. Proterra's Electric Bus made a new record in case of single charging. This gives the electric vehicles an opportunity to compete with petrol and diesel trains.
