An electric bus is a type of bus that is powered entirely by electricity rather than by traditional fuels such as diesel or gasoline. These vehicles utilize electric motors for propulsion, which are typically powered by large battery packs. Electric buses are designed to be more environmentally friendly, producing zero tailpipe emissions, which helps to reduce air pollution in urban areas. They often include features such as regenerative braking, which captures and reuses energy generated during braking, enhancing energy efficiency. Electric buses can be charged using various methods, such as plug-in chargers at bus depots or via designated charging stations along their routes. They are increasingly being adopted in public transportation systems worldwide as cities aim to promote sustainable and eco-friendly transit solutions.
