[All] Viable Electric Bus Option

[Louisette Lanteigne]

Opbrid, a company based in Spain, has just unveiled its Bůsbaar charging
 system for electric buses. It leverages technologies developed by the 
European rail industry and a special type of Lithium Titanate (nLTO) 
battery that allows rapid charge capability and a very large number of 
deep discharge cycles. This system would allow electric buses to have 
smaller batteries (thus less expensive) that are recharged more often; 
5-6 minutes at each end of a bus route would be enough to allow an EV 
bus to operate all day.
