Two electric school buses, powered by Motiv Power Systems, go into service in California
Colton Joint Unified School District in San Bernardino County, California has taken delivery of two electric Type C Starcraft eQuest XL school buses from Creative Bus Sales, featuring powertrains from Motiv Power Systems.
Built on Ford’s F59 chassis, the new e-buses have a capacity of 48 passengers and a range of up to 85 miles. They feature flexible seating, and can be configured to accommodate up to 8 wheelchairs for routes with special-needs children.
Motiv recently delivered a Type A bus to a New York school district, and has had Type A buses running in the California’s King’s Canyon school district since 2014.
“The Motiv electric powertrain [gives] Creative’s eQuest XL school bus unprecedented performance previously uncharacteristic of electric buses,” says Joe Angeli of Creative Bus Sales. “The hill-climbing power and acceleration provided by the electric powertrain gives these buses a driving experience consistent with standard buses, creating a safer driving environment for the buses and the children they transport.”
The electric bus charging infrastructure was installed by EV Safe Charge who offers turnkey commercial, fleet and residential EV charging solutions nationwide.

Working in tandem with industry leaders such as Bosch, ClipperCreek, EV Connect, GE and Schneider Electric, EV Safe Charge provides a turnkey solution to one of the most important challenges of our time — how to wean ourselves from our dependence on the internal combustion engine.

What’s Driving EVs?
Despite Narrowing Fuel Cost Advantage, EVs Continue To Prosper
Five years ago, as plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) began hitting the road in numbers, U.S. gasoline prices were running around $3.50 per gallon and heading upward, and automakers saw a great market opportunity for cars that granted their drivers independence from the gas pump. With today’s prices now less than $2 per gallon in most of the country, that value proposition might not be as strong, but consumers are beginning to see benefits in these vehicles beyond simple fuel savings, leading to optimistic sales forecasts for both PEVs and their charging equipment.

EV Charging in Limited Access Settings
As electric vehicles (EVs) are getting more popular, they are generating demand changes to businesses, housing and travel destinations .Charging stations are popping-up all over the place. Places previously deemed impractical or unsuitable for EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) are beginning to feature EV charging opportunities. The places we’re talking about include commercial settings, multi-family communities and even national parks/forests.
How to buy your first EV Charger
So you’ve just bought your first electric vehicle? Congratulations! Electric Vehicles (EVs) are fun to drive, great for the environment and incredibly easy to operate. So what’s the next step?
The next step is usually figuring out how to charge the new car and most importantly, how to charge your electric car at home. You will need to set-up your Electric Vehicle Service Equipment (EVSE). EVSE is infrastructure that supplies your EV with electric power. They work seamlessly with both BEV (Battery Electric Vehicles) and PHEV (Plug in Hybrid Electric Vehicles).
Technically, EV chargers are built into the car. An EVSE supplies power from your home’s grid into your vehicle’s built in charger which in turn, chargers your vehicle, and keep both vehicle and home safe, and the EV charger communicates with the EV such as when it’s plugged in properly and safe to charge.
