Cold Weather Impacts on Electric School Bus Performance in Aurora, Colorado

Research output: NLRFact Sheet

Abstract

This brief highlight details the key takeaways from a project that utilized NREL's Fleet Research, Energy Data, and Insights (FleetREDI) data analysis pipeline related to electric school bus (ESB) operation. ESBs using battery energy as their primary heating source have a higher energy consumption rate in cold weather, which fleet managers can account for when planning ESB purchases and making dispatching and charging decisions.
