Heavy duty electric vehicles are going to charge at the depot, not on public infrastructure.
There's also on route chargers for buses. There's contact bars mounted on the roof of the bus and the charger drops down during the stop.
- rootusrootus 6y agoI hadn't heard of that. Interesting idea. My first reaction was 'the bus probably does not stop long enough for that to be useful.' But I'm wrong. If the charger can deliver 250kW, which seems reasonable enough, it would deliver enough juice in 10 seconds to get the bus to the next stop, on average.
- maxerickson 6y agoI guess the thing that makes it work out is that a bus can then service the route with a smaller battery.
