The electric model is around 80% more energy-efficient than a conventional diesel bus. The bus’s batteries are charged through the energy generated during engine braking, as well as at bus stops via the power grid. A battery charge via the power grid takes maximum 6 minutes, corresponding to around 10 km of driving.

Unlike internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, EVs emit no direct emissions when running on electricity. The upstream, “well to wheel” emissions of the EV are linked to electricity generation and the electrical grid, with lower emissions in regions that use more renewable energy sources.

If you’re filling up a car that has an internal combustion engine (ICE), you only need to distinguish between the gas and diesel pump.
