School bus electrification in the US has come a long way in the past decade, with especially robust growth in the past two years. School districts across the nation have committed to purchasing more than 12,000 electric buses, and there are over 3,500 already on the road.
Though broadly positive, these results don’t tell the whole story. In fact, districts vary widely in their progress on the fleet electrification journey. Those in the earliest stages are working on obtaining buy-in and making sense of constantly evolving funding incentive programs. Those that have ordered vehicles must carefully time and plan the deployment of supportive infrastructure. And those that already have vehicles in operation are navigating energy cost management and resiliency challenges.
This new webinar sponsored by ENGIE North America will update K-12 fleet professionals on the current state of bus fleet electrification, explore technical requirements, and help prepare business cases for each stage of the journey.
Drawing on a long history of providing eMobility and other sustainable energy solutions to K-12 districts, ENGIE experts will share:
- A breakdown of adoption rates and trends: national, regional, and equity-focused
- A review of recent and upcoming incentive programs, with application windows
- Challenges and best practices for each fleet electrification stage
- Case studies on deployments of eMobility infrastructure, including the latest trend in K-12: sustainable microgrids
