This article provides information about the potential of electric buses and the results of experiments. The potential of battery electric buses (BEB) has been proven time and time again in successful trials the world over and has led to incredible growth in the industry over the past five years. Pilots with favourable results have been conducted in many challenging conditions. BEBs in Auckland negotiate steep slopes up to a 12% grade (2), Proterra’s Catalyst E2 Max has travelled in excess of 1750km on a single charge (3) and commuters travelling between Electric busses continue to exceed expectations and prove their benefits over internal combustion engine vehicles.
