GE demonstrates dual battery system for electric buses; pairing high-energy density sodium battery with high-power lithium battery optimizes performance and lowers cost

Green Car Congress

Currently, the bus has a top speed of 50 mph (80 km/h) and about a 60-80 mile (97-129 km) range under idealized conditions. While significant advances in battery technology have been made, further reductions in the size and cost of batteries will be needed to enable the widespread adoption of electric vehicles.
