Webinar Electrifying Transportation: How Utilities Should Prepare for Electric Buses October 25, 2018 11:00 AM PST/ 2:00 PM EST 60 minutes Register for Webinar An Impact on the Grid as Big as a Bus In terms of load, every electric bus equals to 30 light-duty vehicles As battery prices plummet, electric buses are emerging as the next big thing in the transportation sector prompting cities to chase ambitious electric bus targets. Electric buses could present a challenge to the grid, and utilities need best practices to mitigate grid impacts and infrastructure upgrades from this high energy demand source. Our experts will share insights and experiences including a better interconnection process, challenges of integrating electric buses in more constrained urban corridors, what the deployment of electric buses could look like in the future, and potential charging preferences (i.e., slow vs. fast charging) of battery electric bus fleets. 2018 Webinar Sponsors Register for Webinar Not a member?
