Electric school buses hit the road in B C

Electric school buses hit the road in B.C. B.C.’s first electric school buses hit the road this week in the Sooke school district on Vancouver Island.  Social Sharing CBC News · Posted: May 09, 2021 9:00 AM PT | Last Updated: May 9 Tracey Syrota, Ravi Parmar and bus driver Al Kowalko stand with one of the Sooke school district s new electric school buses. (School District 62/Twitter) comments Two of B.C. s first electric school buses hit the road this week in the Sooke school district on Vancouver Island.  School District 62 is one of 13 districts that have acquired electric buses with the help of B.C. s Ministry of Education, which provided $13 million for 18 buses throughout the province.

“It’s got lots of power if you need it,” he said. “It’s just very neat to be a part of something that’s probably going to end up being a big part of our industry to come, that’s for sure.” Kowalko said students have been “over the moon” about riding in an electric bus. They received cards on Monday that said: “I rode on the first electric school bus in B.C.” The new bus can seat 76 kindergarten-Grade 4 students and 48 older students, slightly less than a diesel model. A second electric bus is scheduled to be in service by mid-month in the district, where the bus system serves more than 4,000 students.
