Webinar -The Smart Way to Execute a Successful Pilot

Most transit agencies start with pilot projects to gain the experience needed for a successful wide-scale deployment. Patricia Carr of SolTrans, a transit agency based in Northern California, will discuss the agency’s experience piloting four battery electric buses, implementing a charging strategy, and planning for a zero-emissions fleet.

Learn key things fleets need to consider when executing a pilot program:

Identify key decision makers and team members to involve in planning

Develop a realistic infrastructure timeline (and when to engage your utility)

Choose the right external partners (vehicle OEMs, EVSE suppliers, engineering firms)

Design for long-term infrastructure needs from the start to minimize costs

Capture and utilize valuable pilot data to inform future deployments

How to fit electric buses for unique depots and deployments
