Electrifying Transportation: How Utilities Should Prepare for Electric Buses

An Impact on the Grid as Big as a Bus

In terms of load, every electric bus equals 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.
