Electric Bus & Truck Charging Solutions

Charging of your electric bus or electric truck will generally be completed at your base location using an AC or DC fast charger. Top up charging can be done as required and is when adding a generally smaller amount of charge to extend the trucks range for the day. Top up’s can be completed through a range of locations including many public charging stations providing the facility is accessible for your electric vehicle.

Your electric bus or truck is compatible with AC charging which is generally slower and will subsequently require a longer period for the battery to be 100% full. 

The faster solution is to use either a publicly available or privately owned DC charger. Depending on the model, a DC charger can fully recharge the eBus in as little as 60 minutes from 20% to 100%.

Understanding Electric Vehicle Charging

If you’re contemplating an electric bus or truck purchase, it’s valuable to have a solid grasp of the EV charging process so you understand your options and how to ensure that your business is set up to gain maximum value from moving to an electric fleet.

Electric vehicle charging comes in three different speeds, each offering various levels of convenience and speed. It’s important to remember that not all electric and PHEV vehicles can handle the highest charging speeds. However, if your vehicle is compatible with faster charging, it can always accommodate slower charging levels as well.

The speed at which your electric vehicle charges depends on the charging method you choose and the compatibility of your vehicle. 

Quick charging is more commonly available at public EV charging stations. It offers a charging rate of 22 kilowatts per hour. If you have access to three-phase power at your home or base, you can install a 22-kilowatt charger, which is quite efficient. If you’re on a single phase, you’ll be limited to a 7-kilowatt charger, still quick enough to charge the average electric vehicle overnight. Remember that the installation of these chargers should be done by an electrician for safety.

Here comes the superhero of charging methods – DC charging, the super fast solution! These chargers can deliver anywhere from 50 to 350 kilowatts per hour, allowing you to reach a full charge in as little as 15 minutes if your vehicle is compatible. However, it’s essential to know that DC charging is not designed for home use and is typically found only at select public EV charging stations.
