Download the Commissioning Guide
Commissioning is a quality assurance process of testing, verifying and documenting a new electric school bus (ESB) and its accompanying charging infrastructure to ensure they operate as intended.
This guide includes a checklist of commissioning procedures for before and when the school bus arrives, and a Commissioning Form to be used for each vehicle and charger. Together, the checklist and form are intended to facilitate the adoption experience of new ESBs and their accompanying charging infrastructure and create a central record of important information regarding systems and electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE).
They will help verify that, upon delivery, vehicles and charging equipment:
- Meet technical specs stated by manufacturers and vendors
- Perform to standards and meet the needs of the school district
- Perform safely prior to transporting students
