So what you're telling me is the lithium should be cheaper right?

Well, that's not how lithium is mined, thats a cobalt mine, and why every EV maker is working to reduce the amount of cobalt in car batteries to nothing. Of course, the batteries in your laptop and cell phone use it also, yet I see no memes about that.
And I cant speak to other makers, but Tesla has dropped cobalt use to nothing, or close to it.

Half Of Teslas Produced In Q1 Had An LFP Battery — Here's Why That Matters
Tesla is using a new type of battery in some cars.

So this is a bit interesting. So far three of those specific buses have caught fire. All are made by a French company, Bollore SA. They use a proprietary Bollore battery design called Lithium Metal Polymer, said by Bollore to be solid state and have no risk of thermal runaway.
So the thing is, don't buy magic batteries. And dont expect anything with stored energy to never catch fire. They will. Until we master Magic Pixie Dust (tm), powered things will burn.

Thats how you wring a new tech out, by deploying it. Has anyone died in electric bus incidents?

Here are the biggest EV recalls since the electric vehicle era began
Millions of EVs have been recalled since their debut.
Even well-established brands have had to recall some of their models. Since electric vehicles are at their toddler stage compared to internal combustion engines, and the software for artificial intelligence-supported driving assistants or autonomous-driving technologies are still developing, a relatively large number of recalls of EV vehicles have occurred. In the last two years, five automakers have recalled electric vehicle batteries due to potential fire and stalling risks. But there have been other high-profile EV recalls before this.

Electric vehicles are the latest form of transportation and being so new they sometimes come with minor or major issues.

Yeah, having seen Indian electrical infrastructure, not shocked the EV rickshaws (tuk tuks) are not safe
It used to be understood that you never bought the first year or two of a new model or powertrain series. Waaaay too many bugs to be still worked out.
I broke that rule once and ended up buying a transmission at 115k miles.
