Frequently asked questions
What charger power do electric bus depots need?
Buses have large batteries, so depots use high-power DC chargers — Relux installs stations rated 240 kW and above, in line with the Ministry of Power guidance of at least 240 kW at e-bus depots.
How long does an electric bus take to charge?
Higher-capacity stations (240 kW and above) bring large-vehicle charging under an hour, compared with several hours at lower capacity; overnight depot schedules fill buses for the next day.
Can buses charge at the same stations as cars?
Yes — they use the same type of station, but higher-capacity hubs charge them much faster.
