With the introduction of electric buses in cities, the air is becoming cleaner, reducing pollutants like nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter (PM). Cities are becoming quieter and in turn, a healthier and more enjoyable environment for citizens to live in. However, since electric buses are so quiet new sounds...

One of the biggest concerns for electric vehicle owners is battery degradation. It can have far-reaching consequences for owners and operators, eventually resulting in reduced energy capacity, efficiency, and a delay in the return on investment. The battery can make up 50% of the cost of an electric bus. Keeping...
