Electric bus operations: A feasibility study. Research report
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:91547
This study determines the technical and economic feasibility of electric bus operations. A review of electric vehicle technology with an emphasis on battery-powered electric vehicles is performed, and the availability and use of electric buses are identified. A methodology is presented for selection of bus routes most suitable for electric bus operations using the Capital Metropolitan Transportation Authority as a case study. Costs and benefits of electric bus operations are identified and compared to the costs and benefits of compressed natural gas and diesel bus operations. Finally, recommendations are made regarding the feasibility of electric bus operations.
