All Electric, All the Time With Wireless Charging WAVE McAllen Electric Bus Project
McAllen Electric Bus Project Facts Infrastructure Costs 60% less than other electric alternatives; reduce fuel consumption by 80%; Not disruptive to route function. Two (2) buses will be equipped with WAVE’s technology and deployed on one (1) of Metro McAllen’s routes. Only needs 10 to 15 minutes of charge time per run to maintain enough charge to run the entire day. No interruption in service as the bus can charge while idling at the station during layover. $2,045,00 Total Cost 90% FTA Grant Funded Wireless Charging Technology Zero tailpipe emissions
