Zenobe's report warns that changes in energy charging structures have the potential to significantly increase costs for electric bus operators, jeopardizing the transition to electric fleets.
The report highlights a staggering potential increase of over 500% in energy bills for electric bus operators due to Ofgem's Targeted Charging Review, underlining the financial strain on low-carbon bus depots.
Beneficial aspects of electric buses include significant reductions in CO2 emissions, substantial long-term savings compared to diesel options, and positive local economic impact, which could be overshadowed by rising costs.
To safeguard the future of electric buses in Britain, it is critical for the government to reassess energy and transport strategies, ensuring ongoing investment and support for electric operations.
