EV Charging for School & Transit Bus
Electric buses run fixed routes on fixed schedules. When a depot charger fails or a route runs longer than planned, a bus can miss its next run.

The challenge
Why charging is hard for school & transit bus
Charger outages
A single failed depot charger can strand a bus for the next run.
Longer routes and trips
