The advantages of converting commercial fleets to EV go beyond energy savings. With the right charging system, EV fleet owners can save money by utilizing vehicle-to-everything connections to participate in energy trading & revenue generating practices.
One prime candidate for electrification is municipal school bus fleets, which typically run set routes several times per day, with the rest of their time spent sitting idle in the bus depot or school parking lot, often during peak electricity time of use rates. Traditional ICE school buses have exhaust emissions that emit a larger carbon footprint compared to electric buses.
The charging software can keep each bus battery at a state of charge that will enable it to complete its afternoon route. When the buses return to the depot at the end of the day, they can be hooked back into the charging system, where they can be recharged, and/or potentially sell excess electricity back to the grid during the evening’s peak demand time. Once off-peak hours go into effect, the buses can then be fully charged again at off-peak rates to be ready for the next day’s routes.
By converting their fleets to electric vehicles, municipalities, and businesses can reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve air quality, and save money in total cost of ownership, while also potentially reducing energy costs and potentially earning revenue with vehicle-to-grid capabilities.
Due to the need for advanced charging hardware and fleet management software, converting a fleet to electric vehicles and optimizing their operation with bi-directional charging isn’t as simple as buying an electric version of the current vehicles in the fleet. However, as an energy-efficient wave of the future, the evolution of EV has much to offer businesses and municipalities.
