The next big EV push is electrification of the iconic American school bus
The range of a fully charged electric bus is upwards of 100 miles, covering most routes. There’s also a natural window to charge during the day while kids are in class.
Occasionally, the buses take trips during the school day to nearby destinations. Although longer field trips pose a problem for range, a hypothetical 13-mile round trip to the Smithsonian National Zoo in Washington shouldn’t drain the battery. But if a bus needs to recharge during the day, it usually only recharges up to whatever it needs to finish the day’s routes.
