U.S. electric bus manufacturer Proterra reached its 100th customer this week, in a sign of how far the industry has come.

That has changed now, thanks to declining battery prices, innovative financing mechanisms and a growing roster of customer testimonials.
GTM checked in with Proterra Chief Commercial Officer Matt Horton to gauge what this milestone really means.
