Key features of electric school buses:

At Peach State we are experienced with helping transportation directors navigate modern transportation solutions, and obtaining available grants for electric school buses. We are excited to introduce our new Diesel vs Electric bus fuel cost comparison tool. This online resource is designed to help provide an intuitive way to compare the cost of diesel and electric buses, enabling informed decisions around the cost benefits of adding this option to existing fleets.

Energy Cost Stability

Unlike diesel, with fluctuating prices, electricity offers stable pricing. This allows districts to plan and budget more effectively.

Environmental + Health Benefits

Electric buses produce zero emissions, reducing exposure to harmful pollutants, particularly beneficial for children with asthma or other respiratory ailments.

Lower Maintenance Costs

Electric buses eliminate the need for components like Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF) and Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems, reducing maintenance expenses.

Energy Saving Initiatives

Government Incentive Funds

There are 180 school districts in Georgia, and the government has set aside $5 billion in incentive funds for these districts. Peach State has assisted numerous customers in securing grants that cover up to 95% of their initial investment in electric fleets. Districts of any size, from those with 3 schools to those with over 100, are eligible to apply.
