Roadmap to 100: Electrifying the full US school bus fleet

This research paper outlines the challenges and necessary actions to achieve full electrification of the United States school bus fleet, emphasizing the need for systems-level solutions to overcome financial and infrastructural barriers.

• The transition to electric school buses (ESBs) is hindered by three primary challenges: the higher initial purchase price compared to diesel alternatives, the complexity and expense of installing charging infrastructure (which relies on grid capacity and utility coordination), and operational misconceptions that specifically impact underserved districts with limited budgets and staff.
