What actually happens inside an electric school bus battery pack when everything goes right (or wrong)?

At ACT Expo, Mabel Feng from Proterra broke down the engineering, safety systems, and predictive intelligence behind the batteries powering buses like Thomas Built’s Jouley and Wattson.

The conversation explores:

  • Battery fire prevention and “passive propagation resistance”
  • Predictive diagnostics and Battery 360 intelligence
  • Cybersecurity and connected battery monitoring
  • Why battery serviceability matters for fleets
  • U.S. manufacturing and resilient supply chains
  • How EPA 2027 regulations are shaping clean transportation
