One of the most popular types of electric buses nowadays are battery electric buses. Battery electric buses have the electricity stored on board the vehicle in a battery. As of 2024, battery electric buses could have a range of over 350 km{{Cite web |title=Malta public transport |url=https://www.publictransport.com.mt/en/news-details/malta-public-transport-invests-20-million-on-30-new-fully-electric-buses-and-charging-depot}} with just one charge, although extreme temperatures, hills, driving style and heavy loads can reduce range.{{cite news |title=The Verdict's Still Out on Battery-Electric Buses |url=https://www.citylab.com/transportation/2019/01/electric-bus-battery-recharge-new-flyer-byd-proterra-beb/577954/ |agency=Citylab |date=17 January 2019}}

City driving involves a great deal of accelerating and braking. Due to that, the battery electric bus is superior to diesel bus as it can recharge most of the kinetic energy back into batteries during braking, which reduces brake wear. The use of electric over diesel propulsion reduces noise and pollution in cities.{{cite news |title=Shenzhen's silent revolution: world's first fully electric bus fleet quietens Chinese megacity |url=https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2018/dec/12/silence-shenzhen-world-first-electric-bus-fleet |work=The Guardian |date=12 December 2018}}

When operating within a city, it is important to minimize the unloaded and rolling weight of the bus. This can be accomplished by using aluminium as the main construction material. Composite paneling and other lightweight materials can also be used. According to Finnish bus manufacturer Linkker, its fully aluminium bus construction is about 3000 kg lighter than comparably sized modern steel buses, which have a curb weight of 9500 kg. Reducing weight allows for a greater payload and reduces wear to components such as brakes, tires, and joints, achieving cost savings for the operator.{{Cite web |title=Lightweight bus construction |publisher=Linkker |url=http://www.linkkerbus.com/naytasivu/Lightweight+bus+construction/5 |access-date=25 May 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304212617/http://www.linkkerbus.com/naytasivu/Lightweight+bus+construction/5 |archive-date=4 March 2016 |url-status=dead }}

Commonly, metropolitan electric busses are charged on-route with 6–8 minutes of charging at 450 kW for every hour of operation. Opportunity charging is available at bus stops with overhead chargers utilizing the SAE J3105 standard and at terminals at the end of the bus route. Slower, 50 kW to 175 kW overnight charging at plug-in chargers is utilized too.{{citation |url=https://www.nema.org/blog/view/2020/05/26/charging-infrastructure-for-battery-electric-buses |title=Charging Infrastructure for Battery-Electric Buses |date=May 26, 2020 |website=NEMA Communications}} Sometimes wireless charging pads are utilized, but plug-in stations are more common due to the fact that are faster and more efficient.{{Cite web|url=https://www.yaleclimateconnections.org/2019/12/electric-buses-charge-up-quickly-using-new-wireless-systems/|title=Electric buses charge up quickly using new wireless systems|last=Kennedy|first=Sarah|date=5 December 2019|website=Yale Climate Connections|access-date=8 December 2019}}

{{Main|Capacitor electric vehicle}}

Buses can use capacitors instead of batteries to store their energy.

Ultracapacitors can only store about 5 percent of the energy that lithium-ion batteries hold for the same weight, limiting them to a short distance per charge.

However ultracapacitors can charge and discharge much more rapidly than conventional batteries.

In vehicles that have to stop frequently and predictably as part of normal operation, energy storage based exclusively on ultracapacitors can be a solution.{{cite web |url=http://www.technologyreview.com/energy/23754/?a=f |title=Next Stop: Ultracapacitor Buses |publisher=Technology Review |access-date=28 July 2010 |archive-date=8 April 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120408040857/http://www.technologyreview.com/energy/23754/?a=f |url-status=dead }}

China is experimenting with a new form of electric bus, known as Capabus, which runs without continuous overhead lines by using power stored in large on-board electric double-layer capacitors, which are quickly recharged whenever the vehicle stops at any bus stop (under so-called electric umbrellas), and fully charged in the terminus.

A few prototypes were being tested in Shanghai in early 2005. In 2006, two commercial bus routes began to use electric double-layer capacitor buses; one of them is route 11 in Shanghai.[https://web.archive.org/web/20070105022719/http://www.52bus.com/article/special/200608/special_6.html 本专题图片文章] (in Chinese, archived page) In 2009, Sinautec Automobile Technologies,{{cite web|url=http://www.sinautecus.com |title=SINAUTEC, Automobile Technology, LLC |publisher=Sinautecus.com |access-date=28 July 2010}} based in Arlington, VA, and its Chinese partner, Shanghai Aowei Technology Development Company{{cite web|url=http://www.aowei.com/english/index.htm |title=Aowei Technology |publisher=Aowei.com |access-date=28 July 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100125014115/http://www.aowei.com/english/index.htm |archive-date=25 January 2010 }} are testing with 17 forty-one seat Ultracap Buses serving the Greater Shanghai area since 2006 without any major technical problems.{{cite web|url=http://www.treehugger.com/files/2009/10/ultracapacitor-electric-buses-china.php |title=Ultracapacitor Buses Work... As Long as You have Lots of Quick-Charge Stations |publisher=TreeHugger |access-date=28 July 2010}} Another 60 buses will be delivered early next year with ultracapacitors that supply 10 watt-hours per kilogram.

The buses have very predictable routes and need to stop regularly, every {{convert|3|mi|0|disp=flip}}, allowing opportunities for quick recharging.

The trick is to turn some bus stops along the route into charging stations. At these stations, a collector on the top of the bus rises and touches an overhead charging line. Within a couple of minutes, the ultracapacitor banks stored under the bus seats are fully charged. The buses can also capture energy from braking, and the company says that recharging stations can be equipped with solar panels. A third generation of the product, will give {{convert|20|mi|disp=flip}} of range per charge or better.

Such a bus was delivered by Chariot Motors in Sofia, Bulgaria in May 2014 for 9 months' test. It covers 23 km in 2 charges.{{cite web|url=https://chariot-electricbus.com/cmproject/e-bus-pilot-project-sofia/|title=Sofia – Chariot Motors|website=chariot-electricbus.com|date=11 April 2023 }}

Sinautec estimates that one of its buses has one-tenth the energy cost of a diesel bus and can achieve lifetime fuel savings of $200,000. Also, the buses use 40 percent less electricity compared to an electric trolley bus, mainly because they are lighter and have the regenerative braking benefits. The ultracapacitors are made of activated carbon, and have an energy density of six watt-hours per kilogram (for comparison, a high-performance lithium-ion battery can achieve 200 watt-hours per kilogram), but the ultracapacitor bus is also cheaper than lithium-ion battery buses, about 40 percent less expensive, with a far superior reliability rating.

There is also a plug-in hybrid version, which also uses ultracapacitors.

Sinautec is in discussions with MIT's Schindall about developing ultracapacitors of higher energy density using vertically aligned carbon nanotube structures that give the devices more surface area for holding a charge. So far, they are able to get twice the energy density of an existing ultracapacitor, but they are trying to get about five times. This would create an ultracapacitor with one-quarter of the energy density of a lithium-ion battery.{{cite web |url=http://www.technologyreview.com/energy/23754/page2/ |title=Next Stop: Ultracapacitor Buses |publisher=Technology Review |access-date=28 July 2010 |archive-date=8 July 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110708130930/http://www.technologyreview.com/energy/23754/page2/ |url-status=dead }}

As with other electric vehicles, climate control and extremely cold weather will weaken the performance of electric buses. In addition, terrain may pose a challenge to the adoption of electric vehicles that carry stored energy compared to trolleybuses, which draw power from overhead lines. Also, compared to trolleybuses, battery electric buses have lower passenger capacity because the weight of the batteries increases axle loads in jurisdictions where there are legal axle load limits on roads.{{citation needed|date=January 2023}} Even when conditions are favorable, internal combustion engine buses are frequently diesel powered, and diesel is relatively inexpensive per mile. High local utility rates (especially during periods of peak demand) and proprietary charging systems pose barriers to adoption.{{cite news |url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-transportation-buses-electric-analysi/u-s-transit-agencies-cautious-on-electric-buses-despite-bold-forecasts-idUSKBN1E60GS |title=U.S. transit agencies cautious on electric buses despite bold forecasts |author=Groom, Nichola |date=11 December 2017 |work=Reuters |access-date=7 August 2018}}

The Class-A school bus was built by Trans Tech Bus, using an electric powertrain control system developed by Motiv Power Systems, of Foster City, California. The bus was one of four the district ordered. The first round of SST-e buses (as they are called) is partly funded by the AB 118 Air Quality Improvement Program administered by the California Air Resources Board.

The Trans Tech/Motiv vehicle has passed all KCUSD and California Highway Patrol inspections and certifications. Although some diesel hybrids are in use, this is the first modern electric school bus approved for student transportation by any state.

Since 2015, the Canadian manufacturer Lion Bus offers a full size school bus, eLion, with a body made out of composites. It is a regular production version that is built and shipped in volume since early 2016, with around 50 units sold until 2017.{{Cite web |url=http://lionbuses.com/en/lion-store/ |title=Archived copy |access-date=25 February 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170130174241/https://www.lionbuses.com/en/lion-store/ |archive-date=30 January 2017 |url-status=dead }}

In February 2021, there were about 300 electric schoolbuses in operation in the United States. That month, Montgomery County, Maryland approved a contract to transition its 1,400 vehicle schoolbus fleet to electric buses by 2035, with the first 25 buses arriving in fall 2021.{{Cite web|date=2021-02-25|title=MCPS to become nation's biggest operator of electric school buses|url=https://wtop.com/montgomery-county/2021/02/montgomery-co-schoos-become-biggest-electric-school-bus-oeprator/|access-date=2021-02-25|website=WTOP}}

The 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act included $2.5 billion in funding for electric school buses, to be distributed over five years.

By June 2022, 38 US states were using electric schoolbuses.{{Cite web |last=Johnson |first=Peter |date=2022-09-23 |title=The second largest electric school bus fleet in the US just crossed 500,000 service miles |url=https://electrek.co/2022/09/23/second-largest-us-electric-school-bus-fleet-just-crossed-500k-miles/ |access-date=2022-10-02 |website=Electrek}}

In September 2022, EPA funding for electric schoolbuses was doubled, from $500 million to almost $1 billion, due to high demand. The improvement in air quality over diesel powered school buses is expected to be helpful for children with asthma.{{Cite web |last=Johnson |first=Peter |date=2022-09-30 |title=EPA doubles electric school bus funding to almost $1B after overwhelming initial demand |url=https://electrek.co/2022/09/30/epa-doubles-electric-school-bus-funding-almost-1b/ |access-date=2022-10-02 |website=Electrek}} In addition, the BIDIRECTIONAL Act was introduced in the US Senate, to "create a program dedicated to deploying electric school buses with bidirectional vehicle-to-grid (V2G) flow capability."

In 2023, Oakland, California introduced the first major fleet of electric school buses in a U.S. school district. These buses not only serve as a mode of transportation for students but also contribute 2.1 gigawatt-hours of electricity annually to the power grid, which is sufficient to power between 300 and 400 homes. This initiative holds particular importance in Oakland, a community where many students come from low-income families that are disproportionately affected by industrial pollution. The electric buses are projected to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by about 25,000 tons each year, thereby improving both the environment and health conditions within the community.{{Cite web |last=Woody |first=Todd |date=May 16, 2024 |title=The First Electric School Bus Fleet in the US Will Also Power Homes |url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-05-16/the-first-electric-school-bus-fleet-in-the-us-will-also-power-homes |access-date=2024-05-16 |website=bloomberg.com}}

:In 2013 Abriely imported for Uruguay-Argentina tourist transport operator Buquebus an BYD K9 for a tourist line in Colonia del Sacramento. That line was unsuccessful, and the bus was sold in 2016 to Montevideo's biggest urban and sub-urban transit bus operator CUTCSA who numbered it ad{{clarify|date=August 2023}} the 2016 ("outside"{{clarify|date=August 2023}} the 1-1136 the covered by the 1136 units of the operator). In that service the bus proved that while constrained and limited by the battery capacity in the longer lines, it could easily work in the shorter lines; so in 2020 CUTCSA acquired 20 BYD K9s for use on three exclusive{{clarify|date=August 2023}} electrical lines:(CE1 Ciudad Vieja-Tres Cruces, replacing the CA1 line. (CE = "Centrica Electrica"; CA was "Centrica Accesible" or "Accesible Centrical") It{{clarify|date=August 2023}} was the first exclusive{{clarify|date=August 2023}} low floor bus line in Uruguay and a lower fare,E14 Ciudad Vieja-Pocitas replacing the 14 lines, and,the DE1 Ciudad Vieja-Carrasco line replacing the D1 line. (D=means Differential and refers to it being faster than another pre-existing line)

: In 2020 the other three Montevidean bus operators COETC, UCOT and COME bought respectively 4, 3 and 3 Yutong E12LF (also known as ZK6128BEVG) for use in non-exclusive lines (and in COETC and UCOT cases also the CE1)

: In the first semester{{clarify|date=August 2023}} of 2023 CUTCSA started testing a Higer KLQ6126GEV numbered as 2023:first in the electric exclusive lines,later in multiple lines affiliated to the groupings of lines known as "Linea A", and finally in the "Interdiferencial" lines (Interdiferential lines composing of both Differential and inter-departmental lines) in preparation for the acquisition of electric units to replace around 25% of the fleet of 1140 buses.

:On 7 May 2023 Claudio Techera, a reporter of the magazine "Transporte Carretero"(Road Transport), uploaded to his personal YouTube channel an interview with Álvaro Gomez, Director of PRIMATUR, the official importer of Yutong in Uruguay, in which Gomez confirmed that the cooperative COETC and the company COME S.A. had signed contracts for the acquisition of 10 Yutong U12 buses by each operator, with the possibility of modifying the side windows to make it easier to replace glass broken by stones or bullets. On 11 June, the cooperative UCOT confirmed the purchase of 10 U12 units after a directors' meeting.

• Canelones-Las Piedras (Ankai × 6). Since 2019 the bus operator Compañia del Este o Codeleste has been buying Ankai electric low-floor buses for use in general lines of different models.{{clarify|date=August 2023}}
• Durazno-Durazno Department (Ankai × 2). The bus operator Nossar (which has operated urban and suburban bus services in the department since 1925, and interdepartmental services since 1987) bought 2 Ankai units for urban services, these units arrived at the Montevideo port and were driven about 200 km to Durazno by members of the Nossar family (owners of Nossar since its foundation).
