Yeah, they're going to be everywhere eventually. Right now, though, they're too expensive...they're fail when it's hot, when it's cold, on inclines, their range is insufficient, and the charging process is labor intensive. Further, manufacturers are not delivering the product that they've promised city managers - with safety defects and lower (even than advertised) range. These are the things that the industry will have to smooth out.
Until then, the electric buses with the most success will be (and have been) trolley buses, which require infrastructure largely absent in the US. There are plans to change that, ofc. The idea being that with battery density being what it is today, there's no need to electrify every route. The trolley buses could operate off a main trunk, leaving and returning to the electrified portion of a common route while spurring into pickups.
