Planning Now Saves Thousands Later

Going electric isn’t just about the buses, it’s about knowing When, Where, and How to roll them out.

Planning without technical insight or grant alignment leads to costly mistakes: overspending, under-utilizing chargers, and missing funding windows. Our team makes sure your transition starts with clarity, not confusion.

Start Your Project Right

‍Here's how we help you make sure you're ready to tackle your EV project.

Feasibility Studies

Before you invest in vehicles or charging stations, you need to know what will actually work. Our team analyzes your routes, daily mileage, dwell times, and seasonal usage patterns to determine exactly which vehicles are viable candidates for electrification and which aren’t. You’ll walk away with a clear understanding of where to start and how to scale.

Site Evaluations

Not every parking lot or garage is EV-ready. We assess your existing infrastructure from electrical capacity and layout to proximity to transformers and utility connections. We’ll show you what it will take to install chargers at your site, what challenges to expect, and what upgrades might be required before construction can begin.

Grant Alignment

Great funding is out there but it’s competitive and confusing. We help you identify which grants you qualify for, what documentation is needed, and how your project can be structured to maximize your eligibility. We don’t just help you apply—we help you plan for success before the application is even written.

Phased Rollout Strategies

Going all-electric overnight isn’t realistic for most districts. We help you develop a phased approach that balances your operational needs, budget cycles, and infrastructure upgrades. Whether you're starting with 2 buses or 20, we’ll help you plan a timeline that sets you up for long-term success.

Transition Training

New technology means new responsibilities. We prepare your team (drivers, maintenance crews, and district leadership) for what to expect from EVs. From safety protocols and daily routines to long-term performance monitoring, our training ensures your team is confident from day one.

Already Working with another Dealer?

No problem. You can still work with us for your planning, infrastructure, and capital needs. We’ll coordinate with them to make sure your bus procurement aligns with your infrastructure timeline, grant deadlines, and service plan.
