The Road to Fleet Electrification: Strategies for a Successful Transition

This session offers a strategic look at how school bus and commercial fleets are approaching electrification anchored in depot-based charging. Speakers will discuss why predictable routes and long dwell times make school buses natural early adopters and what that means for broader fleet transitions. Examples from major districts show how structured planning helps manage cost, infrastructure buildout, and stakeholder coordination. Attendees will see how defined planning pathways can turn fleet electrification into a manageable, repeatable process.
