Initial results from first phase of road trials for 40-ft BYD electric bus in Canada

Green Car Congress

BYD provides the largest battery of any electric bus supplier today with a 324 kWh total energy storage capacity. Further, BYD claims (as shown in the chart above) that when bus average speeds increased up to the maximum speed of 70 km/h (43 mph), that the overall bus efficiencies increased to 0.75

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. GE researchers believe a dual system with high power and energy storage capacity could achieve the optimal electric driving range and acceleration requirements at a more practical size scale and cost for larger vehicles.
