Electric Bus Charging Infrastructure Industry Overview
The electric bus charging infrastructure market is consolidated and led by a few players, such as ABB Group, Proterra Inc. (also an electric bus manufacturer), ChargePoint Inc., Siemens AG, and Others. The companies are entering strategic partnerships, acquisitions, and product development to expand their brand portfolio.
In October 2022, Solaris inaugurated its new pantograph charging depot warehouse Hall and an innovative charging park in Bolechowo for electric buses. The warehouse is spread over a 10,000 m2 area and equipped with cutting-edge logistics systems and solutions.
In January 2022, Following a grant from the California Energy Commission, Proterra announced that the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) will install an innovative clean energy microgrid and EV fleet charging system with Proterra and Scale Microgrid Solutions to power the organization's transition to a 100% zero-emission bus fleet. The project, which is expected to be operational by the end of 2023, demonstrates how fleet-scale EV charging and clean energy can facilitate the adoption of fully electric vehicle fleets.
In November 2021, The California Energy Commission has given the Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT) a USD 6 million grant to install one of the largest EV fleet charging systems in the United States that will be powered by a solar and storage microgrid. At the Washington Bus Yard, LADOT will install a 4.5MWh Apparent energy storage system in conjunction with 1.5 megawatts of rooftop and bus solar canopy to power five Proterra 1.5 megawatt fleet chargers with 104 remote EV charging dispensers.
