Electric Bus: A Critical Overview on the Dawn of Its Widespread Uptake
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract The battery powered electric bus is the first electric vehicle whose market share in the world's leading industrial economy has surpassed the 80%. Within the next decade (2019–2026), the authors argue, electric buses powered by Li‐ion batteries and hydrogen fuel cells will become ubiquitous across the world, displacing bus and coaches powered by fossil fuels burned in the internal combustion engine. Critically reviewing the economic, health, and environmental benefits of the electric bus, this essay offers an updated outlook in a key area of the global energy transition.
