Webinar: Realities of Charging Infrastructure: Electric School Bus Operators Roundtable

Hear insightful conversations with school district leaders sharing their experiences, challenges, and successes in adopting sustainable and eco-friendly transportation solutions.

In this dynamic virtual event, we bring together school transportation and sustainability experts for a comprehensive discussion on the electrification journey of school districts.

Learn about the innovative strides being taken by school districts to transition their traditional bus fleets to cutting-edge electric vehicles. Engage in insightful conversations with school district leaders sharing their experiences, challenges, and successes in adopting sustainable and eco-friendly transportation solutions.

From navigating the initial planning stages to overcoming logistical hurdles and integrating charging infrastructure, our esteemed panelists will shed light on their direct experience in school bus electrification. Discover the compelling reasons driving this transition, including environmental benefits, cost savings, and improved air quality for our communities.

The discussion will also include a presentation from Meiye Wang, Lead Data Analyst at The Mobility House, to share her team's powerful analytical tools. The charging analysis is an important first step for any school bus electrification project to determine the number and type of chargers needed for your unique situation. Meiye will walk through how her team’s analysis will factor fleet scheduling, local utility rates, incentives, and vendor preferences, to deliver a custom charging plan and facilitate a smooth shift to efficient managed charging. She will also touch on how the analysis can extend to solar integration, microgrid solutions, and Vehicle-Grid Integration (VGI) strategies to achieve cost-efficiency and operational resilience.
