Electric School Bus Adoption:

  1. PEI 33%
  2. Quebec 15%
  3. BC 5.0%
  4. Can 3.8%
  5. NB 1.8%
  6. Ontario 0.5%
  7. AB 0.02%

The three decisive drivers of successful electric school bus adoption: clear regulatory targets, robust and predictable provincial funding, and proactive charging infrastructure planning.

    Wait until you hear how much most passenger cars drive…

    I’ll ruin the suprise. It’s 380 hours per year.

    1 hour run x am/pm x 5 days x 10 months; 500 hours. Already have the Canadian average beat, even before adding field trips, summer camps, and other chartered drives.
