The Mobility House and Schneider Electric Unveil Solar Charging Depot for Turlock Unified’s Electric School Bus Fleet - CleanTechnica

Turlock Unified School District (TUSD) in California has introduced nine electric Blue Bird buses along with solar-powered charging infrastructure at their transportation center, marking a significant step toward their goal of an all-electric fleet by 2035. The buses replace diesel models, reducing air pollution, and are charged using a combination of AC and DC chargers powered by solar canopies over the parking lot. The charging system, provided by The Mobility House, optimizes solar energy use and minimizes utility costs through advanced charge management technology. The project is a collaboration involving The Mobility House and Schneider Electric, who have previously implemented similar electric school bus charging solutions in other California districts such as Stockton Unified and Modesto City Schools. Both companies emphasize the complementary nature of solar energy and electric vehicles in advancing sustainable transportation. The Mobility House specializes in flexible, resilient EV charging technology that supports grid stability and zero-emission goals, while Schneider Electric focuses on energy management and automation to promote efficient and sustainable energy use.
