Denver Schools Power Up Largest Electric Bus Fleet in Colorado with 26-Plug Charging Hub

Colorado’s biggest fleet of electric school buses has just received a major infrastructure boost. A new charging depot, equipped with 26 plugs, is now operational to keep the state’s largest zero-emission school bus fleet charged and ready for daily routes. The initiative supports a total of 28 electric buses serving Denver Public Schools, marking a significant step in clean student transportation.

The newly installed hub is designed to optimize charging schedules, ensuring buses are powered during off-peak hours to reduce costs and strain on the grid. With this upgrade, the district can efficiently manage its fleet’s energy needs, contributing to cleaner air and lower operational expenses compared to diesel alternatives.

This development is part of a broader push across Colorado to electrify school transportation. By expanding charging infrastructure, the state aims to encourage more districts to adopt electric buses, demonstrating that large-scale zero-emission fleets are both practical and beneficial.
