Welcome to my latest ‘real world’ EV video looking at Brisbane’s Metro, the new public transport offering using 100% battery electric busses with ultra rapid 600 kilowatt charging from an onsite 1MWh solar PV system.
In the video I talk through:
– the 3 key Companies involved in the Brisbane Metro project?
– detailed look at the articulated, 150 seat busses including ultra rapid charging capability
– associated depot infrastructure, including electrical distribution, EV charging & admin and workshop buildings
– Community, passenger & driver benefits of new e-busses and the bus depot aiming for 5 star efficiency
– look at the new Rochedale South depot
I’m looking forward to everyone’s comments and please let me know of any sustainable mass public transport happening in your part of the world. Thanks for watching. If you haven’t please click ‘Subscribe’ and hit the ‘Bell’ icon to make sure you don’t miss my next Video.
