How Long Have EVs Been Around?

The first commercially available electric vehicle debuts in the US by Scottish chemist William Morrison

Electric cars gain popularity, because they were quiet, odorless, and did not require a hand-crank to start

Light bulb inventor Thomas Edison improves battery performance

EV reached it peak popularity making up 30+% of all vehicles, including horse and carriage.

EV disappear as crude oil hit all-time lows thanks to Texas

1968–1973

Fuel prices skyrocket building new interest in EVs

Moon Rover is EV

Major automakers explore EV prototypes to combat high fuel prices.

Federal regulations announce first known incentives for EVs

Tesla starts it Lotus Elite EV project.

Lion Electric launches

EV battery cost drop by 50% since 2008

Lion Electric conventional bus goes into full production

Is Electric Right for Me?

1. Do you have a fleet?

2. How many miles does each vehicle average daily?

3. How much of your fleet are you replacing?

Why Aren’t EVs More Popular Today?

Zero-Emissions, Viable Total Cost of Ownership Solution

▪ Blue Bird was a pioneer and first school bus OEM to embrace EV technology

▪ 1994 – Blue Bird developed the first battery-powered school bus

▪ 1996 – Blue Bird produced transit style electric shuttle buses for the Atlanta Summer Olympics

▪ Partnered with Cummins for EV technology on Type C & Type D buses

▪ Only manufacturer to have produced and deployed electric school buses in Type A, Type C, and Type D

▪ Level 2 and DC fast charge now standard on all buses

▪ V2G now standard on all buses

How did Blue Bird get started in electric?

Where is Blue Bird today?

Miles per gallon vs miles per gallon efficiency

Up to 120+mile range before recharging

Meets FMVSS & CMVSS

requirements and is EPA

and CARB certified

Infrastructure Requirements

▪ Charging of the vehicle can use the industry standard SAEJ-1772 connector or a Type-1 CCS DC connector.

▪ For Level-2 charging maximum of 19.2kW you’ll need 220Volt Service and an available 100 amp circuit breaker (charger will pull about 70 amps of current).

▪ For Level-3 DC fast charging, the batteries can handle up to 60 kWh, charging the bus in 2-3 hours.

▪ V2G is now a standard feature on all Blue Bird EVs with the CCS Type-1 connector and bi-directional charging.

A-Z Bus Sales is here to help with ALL infrastructure related questions!
