Electric buses will not work for Indianapolis but they have their head in the sand and they’re determined that they’re going to continue use them no matter what.
Why won’t they work?
Analysis was clearly explained in this article. One must read it and attempt to understand. Battery powered buses work and work in Indianapolis and elsewhere in the nation. All agencies are seeking to move to battery-powered buses.
An unfortunate term of ‘electric buses’ mischaracterizes the vehicle and issue – an electric bus is a trolleybus with overhead wires such as those that operate in Seattle, San Francisco, Dayton and Boston; these once operated extensively throughout the US, including Indianapolis. The currently used term ‘electric buses’ means battery powered buses.
This issue is how to increase the range of buses with batteries. Options exist:
– charging stations — these can be in-line with quick charge embedded induction or overhead contact system
– more onboard batteries — but these increase weight which tends to decrease performance
– more efficient batteries — the industry is working on this and battery efficiency is improving.
Light Rail and streetcars operates with batteries and contact charging at stations in Zaragoza and Seville, Spain and in Detroit. Zaragoza has pavement level charging plate whereas Seville and Detroit have an overhead charging apparatus. The charging devices are energized and a quick charge occurs when the vehicle stops at a station for passenger ons and offs. A similar system could b implements for buses.
The head-in-the-sand approach is to assume nothing works and to refuse to seek remediation to improve functioning. The vehicle industry, such as Tesla, and transit agencies nationwide are seeking solutions.
Electric buses were the only way to get around Indianapolis from 1898 until 1941.
Interurbans were intercity electric railways popular 100 years ago – and, believe it or not, the Hoosier state had one of the most extensive systems in the entire country!
