Again, bus loops are 3% of this machine’s range in best conditions. It would be a heck of a winter to be a critical issue, with 190kw recharge at either end of the loop.
For an intercity bus, still absolutely a concern.
Bus would need to charge at every end of the loop - and building the infrastructure isn't cheap. The ideal solution would be if the bus could run on one charge throughout the day and then got charged overnight. 700km should be enough for that except during winter
