More Electric Buses Heading Our Way

What’s happening? Ohio has announced two sets of electric buses. The buses have to “Run 140 miles on a single charge in all weather conditions.”

Why is this important? The Center for Transportation and the Environment says less than 2% of the nation’s transit vehicles, buses, are electric.

How will this be important? Charging will occur in short bursts of rapid charging as route drivers take leg-stretching breaks every couple of hours.
