What is all the buzz about???? Electricity is the world’s fastest-growing form of end-use energy consumption. The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates that : Worldwide generating capacity will grow to 36.5 million megawatt-hours by 2040 69% increase from 2012, driven by rising incomes in China, India, and other emerging Asian economies Electricity generation in the U.S. will grow 24% by 2040—about 1% annually
Emissions by vehicle type On-Road Vehicles Buses and Taxis represent 2.5% of on-road vehicles but 1/3rd of all emissions GHG Emissions

Example of a capital lease Hold on to your skirts… In the State of California: The base model of GreenPower's Synapse Shuttle(44 seats) with 50 kW charging station + $30,000 down = $2,990 per month lease payments for 5 years with a $0 residual! The monthly payment would be the fuel savings of a conventional bus. Sizes Height Seating Range Life Cycle And components Essentially a free bus!!

Things to Consider: Bus Electrification
Unless you have your own Power station 3 Things you need to do Verify your energy usage Verify your energy availability Verify your energy cost
Charging-Depot vs Enroute (in-route) Take the fuel with you or leave it in the ground? Depot charging starts at 40kW and goes up to 200kW Conductive EnRoute charging starts at 250kW and goes up to 500kW Wireless Enroute charging starts at 20kW and goes up to 250kW
J 1772/CCS Charging Ability to utilize existing charging infrastructure
Facilities
Facilities Are your facilities sufficient?
Make sure before you place the PO that: Check lifts for fitment and capacity Metric vs SAE tools-Special tools Can the vehicles be charged in the cold/heat? Multiplex debug tools are compatible Bus wash works for type of bus The vehicle weight is not excessive for facility pavement Orientation of chargers
