If you charge the buses over night, then you don't need 100 kW. I think the battery sizes are something like 100-300 kWh. So with 9 hours of charging, you need only perhaps 30 kW at the most.

Anecdotally, the town I live in invested in probably around 100 buses. They did build a new depot with charging stations.

Batteries are coming down in price, so if getting a good grid connection is a problem, you can put in a buffering battery.

The comfort of the BEV buses is much better than the old diesel buses, by the way, and they are much less noisy in the city.

Ok so you still need 3MW or with a buffering battery as big as your fleet you could spend half the day charging the batteries. So you still need what, 1.5MW? Or is it half that. It is still a grid connection that is larger than you could easily find in an old inner city bus depot, I would have thought?
