With so many electric buses now in Coventry is that why domestic power supplies are struggling here tonight?

Really?

If you are serious, then no, because most of the chargers at Coventry garage come on automatically at 22:00 to get the cheaper rate electricity so very few buses are currently charging

No not serious! but it does show that UK power seems to be struggling in this v cold weather and demand is going up.

E041 has gone to Coventry today and should be the next one into service. It isn't tracking properly at the moment, currently showing on the A42 which it definitely isn't! so although I have reported it, don't expect it on Bustimes Monday. E100 is also in service not tracking properly

I'm guessing that some of the buses shown as undelivered on the main site will be getting 23 plates?

No, all 130 are already registered and taxed
