Choosing and Building a Charging Infrastructure That Works For You.

Once the roadmap is set, the planning and building begins. Like any large construction project, many things must fall into place. From choosing the charging equipment to selecting the contractors, the decisions can feel weighty. That’s why our Charging team will be by your side throughout the process connecting and coordinating with local partners to bring a charging solution tailored to your needs.

Concept Design

Using the roadmap, our charging team will help you select appropriate chargers based on your energy requirements and routes. We’ll then help you assemble an expert construction project team including contractor, build-out and electrical roles as needed. With our strategic partners, we will work with you to assist with security and lighting – not to mention the paperwork like permitting. The idea is to take as much off your plate as possible so that the transition is a smooth one.

Project Management & Implementation

It’s finally time for the shovels to hit the ground. And our team will be there to supervise the installation of chargers and act as the main point of contact between multiple vendors and utilities.

Charging Speeds

Charging speeds will vary based on the type of electric vehicle supply equipment (ESVE) you choose and on environmental factors such as temperature. Our trusted advisors can help determine what charging speeds you can expect.

Public Charging

While our goal when planning would be for your fleet to have all the charging they need at your school’s charging depot, there may be times when a bus needs to charge in public. In these cases, here are a few things to consider:

Look for a charger with CCS1 connectors
Look for a charger with at least 700 Volts
Make sure there is enough room to park near the charger

Strategic Partnerships

Making the switch to electric isn’t as easy as plugging your electric school bus into the nearest outlet. To take advantage of all the benefits of electric vehicles and to ensure the best possible experience, it’s important to develop a plan tailored to your specific needs and future goals. Our discovery workshops are designed to do just that. Working together, we’ll craft an EV Roadmap and work with our strategic partners to identify short term and long term goals, the steps that need to be taken to ensure success and uptime when your vehicle is delivered. As your single point of contact, we’ll be with you throughout the entire process.
