Hello,
I am the Head Mechanic for a school District in Upstate NY. Our state has passed a law in regards to electric vehicles and my District is currently investigating electric school buses. While I am on board with this, I would also like to save the District and tax payers as much money as possible by not getting the electricity from the grid, so I have been looking into various solar options.
The most likely candidate for the buses would be the Blue Bird Vision. It has a battery capacity of 155kWh (Li-ion NMC/G cell) with a range of 120 miles. While we would only be getting one to start, we would eventually need to replace all thirteen big buses. Does anyone have any recommendations or experience with this application?
Thank you,
Lisa
