2. 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

3. 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

4. LiFePo4 gravimetric energy density trend
11.4% Expected
7.4% Historical

6. 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.
