Going Electric Makes Cents !
When purchasing a bus, one should consider the total cost it will take to maintain and fuel the vehicle throughout its lifetime. Electric buses not only have the ability to save your district money in the long-term; it is very possible that you can afford to add an EV bus to your fleet, with the help of existing and upcoming grants, subsidies, and more.
Affordable
Along with reduced maintenance and fuel costs, many government subsidies and grants are available for school districts that are willing to add EV to their fleet - with more on the way. There are also other ways to afford an EV bus, including:
- Upcoming USA National Grants
- Specialized Financing through Blue Bird Capital Services
- Local Grants and Subsidies Through State, Provincial, or Power Company Assistance
- V2G Revenue Potential
