Largest Electric School Bus Program in United States Launching in Virginia

Key Highlights: Dominion Energy will add 200 electric school buses by 2020, and 1,000 electric school buses by 2025.

Dominion Energy has partnered with local Virginia school districts to begin replacing diesel buses with 100% electric school buses in phases. No phase can come too soon, so CleanTechnica wishes all school districts a rapid rollout after the initial 50 launch the program. Children are more sensitive to air pollution than adults, and it hurts them and their studies. Thomas Built Buses Inc (TBB) has been selected as the provider of all 50 of the initial electric school buses. These buses are supposed to go into operation this year. After 2020, Dominion Energy will add 200 electric school buses per year for the next 5 years, with the goal being to reach a 50% electric bus fleet, 1,000 electric school buses by 2025. The aim is to reach 100% electric school buses by 2030.
