Transit Depot Slow Charger and On-Route Fast Charger Project
Transit Depot Slow Charger and On-Route Fast Charger Project
Project Overview
As the first step in transitioning the transit fleet to zero emissions, the Transit Department has purchased two Gillig 35’ battery electric buses. To allow charging of the electric buses, the County will install ChargePoint Express Plus plug-in chargers at the Nevada County Operations Center (NCOC) and InductEV inductive chargers at the Tinloy St. Transit Center. and will provide plug-in charging for the initial two electric buses. The NCOC Phase-1 project also installs infrastructure in the ground to allow for future charging expansion for up to 12 buses.
Schedule
Phase-1 of the electric bus charging project at the NCOC will be constructed in Summer of 2023, while Phase-2 of the project at the Tinloy St. Transit Center is scheduled to be constructed in 2025 and will provide one contactless electric bus charger for en-route charging and infrastructure to allow the future installation of two additional inductive chargers.
Current Status
