The MCV Volvo's would seem a solid option but probably would be E200's to match his Fleet plus none of the routes mentioned scream Heavyweight Bus

MCV do offer a 10.8m eVoRa, but still more of a 'heavyweight' bus compared to an E200. I agree that keeping a standardised fleet would have it's benefits, but you also run the risk of the whole fleet being grounded, should an issue arise.

the one in the photo is ex-CT4N BYD K9UR LJ16 NNB, id presume they are pretty low milage since they were used on the very short east mids airport gateway shuttles, CT4N also have LJ16 NNC but they appear to have kept that one for local services.

they were replaced by brand new yutong E12s earlier in the year and didnt see further use so i presume thats why they were sold.

If the bus is 8 years old isn't that about the expected life of the batteries?

Knowing Shaz Ali and how he realised he messed up at A2Z with his random purchases I suspect he will find some decent E200s from somewhere
