A representative example of the charging, route and operational needs of an electric school bus using managed charging to charge at off-peak hours.
A School Day in the Life of an Electric School Bus
Over the course of the day, electric school buses often serve multiple routes, bringing students safely to and from school. From pre-dawn maintenance checks to overnight charging, a day in the life of an electric school bus can be busy.
In this representative example of a school day in the life of an electric school bus, you can see how an electric school bus using managed charging may operate over the course of the day.
With hours spent stationary at the school bus depot or lot, electric school buses offer a real opportunity to provide services to the electrical grid and surrounding communities through managed charging and vehicle grid integration – but only with proper planning.
