Electric cars, even if not yet mature, why buses are replaced with electric ones?

Electric vehicles have become the focus of major car companies in the next few years, whether it is a luxury brand or ordinary joint venture brands, have a large-scale launch of electric vehicles in the planning.

According to my observation and judgment, the large-scale implementation of electric buses is mainly due to the following reasons:

1. Reduce tailpipe emissions in urban areas

This, I think, is the most important reason for the popularity of electric buses, which are emphasized everywhere in the control of pollution in urban areas and the reduction of tailpipe emissions, electric vehicles, because of the lack of tailpipe emissions, are favored by local governments.

2, electric bus mileage fixed

Electric cars and electric buses, the biggest difference is not the difference in mileage, buses may be longer daily mileage, and the biggest difference is the uncertainty, uncertainty so that the average user to use the electric car increased mileage anxiety. Electric buses are different from private cars, electric buses driving mileage is fixed, up to one or two hundred kilometers per day, completely within the range, even if the range is insufficient, but also flexible arrangements for charging time.

3, electric buses with lower costs

For bus companies, maximizing profits is the most important, and buses every day to drive a long mileage, under the long years, the bus company so many buses, years and years of use down is a very large expenditure. And switching to electric buses will undoubtedly save a large amount of costs.

4, electric buses have plenty of area to put the battery

Home cars are limited by the size, the car space in inches, you can put the battery location only above the chassis, which also led to a limited range of electric cars, and many people take electric buses will find that electric buses have a very thick area at the end is dedicated to placing the battery, such as BYD K9, full of battery range of up to 10 miles. Electricity under working conditions range of 250 kilometers, the entire vehicle single battery capacity of 200Ah, the total power to 324kwh, is the ordinary household electric car 5-8 times.

5, dedicated maintenance, charging convenient

For home electric car owners, if there is no charging pile at home, you need to go around looking for charging piles, especially long-distance travel, especially inconvenient, but electric buses are different, the bus company has built a special charging station, every night after the close of the bus, it is unified by the charging of the people, the next day, a long time ago, full of blood resurrection.

6, manufacturers of different warranty policies

Many people are reluctant to buy electric cars is worried about the battery life, and for the bus so large orders, electric car manufacturers will strive to get, so both sides will agree on the battery warranty policy, is likely to give a higher warranty policy than the family car, or give a very favorable price for the replacement of batteries, which is the ordinary car owner is difficult to enjoy.

Overall, the use, driving range, charging conditions, and maintenance conditions of electric buses and family cars are completely different, and cannot be put together in an analogy. At this stage, we still only recommend that users in the south who have a fixed parking space at home, commute to and from work, and have charging piles, and who have a fuel car at home already, to buy an electric car.
