All Electric School Buses Are Not Created Equal: Jouley Stands Apart

What makes the Saf-T-Liner(r) C2 Jouley(r) electric school bus different from other electric school buses in the market? Well, for starters, it might be the best electric bus for those with EV range anxiety.

The Jouley electric school bus has one of the longest operating ranges in the industry, with up to 138 miles. But even more important, DC fast-charging comes standard on the Jouley electric buses, which means that as long as your charging infrastructure has an output of at least 60Kw, your bus can produce a nominal charge in as little as 2-3 hours and fully charge your bus in 4-6 hours. That means you can charge during the school day and be ready in time for drop-off.

But that's not all, the Jouley electric school bus has undergone extensive safety testing to ensure a safe, reliable and durable electric school bus for you and your technicians. Along with Proterra(r), we test our electric buses, battery packs and individual battery cells to withstand heat, cold, impact, vibration and submersion. And that's just the beginning.

In fact, Mark Childers of the Electric Bus Authority recently joined us in a podcast to discuss the safety features of our electric buses. Take a look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjEewdlgLUY&t=8m30s
