EO Charging Introduces More Accessible School Bus Depot Electrification

EO Charging has introduced a new solution called Genius Fleet, which is aimed at simplifying the depot electrification process for commercial and school bus customers.

This initiative allows customers to select the number of chargers they need for a monthly fee of $59.99 per charger, providing comprehensive charging capabilities.

The Genius Fleet package integrates hardware with EO's suite of services, boasting a track record of at least 99% uptime across its global customer base. Purchasers gain access to the EO Cloud charge management platform, round-the-clock monitoring and remote troubleshooting, ongoing operations and maintenance support, as well as a commercial-grade charging station.

John Walsh, president of EO Charging, Americas, emphasized the importance of simplifying the transition to electric fleets: "EO’s new Genius Fleet solution aims to remove these barriers, letting the customer focus on their core competency while enabling EO to provide lifecycle electrification services that meet their unique needs."

Under the Genius Fleet program, EO manages charger commissioning onto EO Cloud, monitors chargers to preemptively address issues, and offers optional on-site services for optimal charger performance, all backed by a five-year warranty.

The Genius Fleet program entails a five-year commitment and excludes installation, data connectivity costs, and applicable taxes. EO Charging extends support across all aspects of installation and energy management as required. Geared towards fleets with adequate dwell times or shorter routes, this charging solution aims to simplify perceptions of electric depot design and installation, making the transition to all-electric more accessible, with no upfront costs.
