As discussed elsewhere, there are ways to offset the increased infrastructure cost involved in retrofitting a bus yard with high power electrical service. My favorite idea is to partner with the utility to provide V2G buffering. In the summer when none of the buses are utilized, have those batteries offset some peak generation during heatwaves.
During the school year, there's still margin to buffer peak demand.
How many buses with V2G capability would be required to offset the construction of 1 NG peaker plant?
It would be among the easiest ways to learn how to implement V2G capabilities since buses run on a set schedule, and the infrastructure would be concentrated and more easily managed.
