Electric School Bus Adoption:

  1. PEI 33%
  2. Quebec 15%
  3. BC 5.0%
  4. Can 3.8%
  5. NB 1.8%
  6. Ontario 0.5%
  7. AB 0.02%

The three decisive drivers of successful electric school bus adoption: clear regulatory targets, robust and predictable provincial funding, and proactive charging infrastructure planning.

This is pretty pointless, like electric fire trucks.

These buses are used briefly twice a day, 5 days a week, 10 months.

    Wait until you hear how much most passenger cars drive...

    I'll ruin the suprise. It's 380 hours per year.

    1 hour run x am/pm x 5 days x 10 months; 500 hours. Already have the Canadian average beat, even before adding field trips, summer camps, and other chartered drives.
