By providing essential EV chargers, QuantumEV helped ensure that the Karsan eJest buses could be charged quickly and efficiently, making them a viable option for public transportation in the city. 

‍

Let’s take a closer look at how QuantumEV's products and management system helped make the Saint John Electric Bus project a reality. 

‍

Background on the Saint John Electric Bus Initiative

‍

The Saint John Electric Bus initiative was launched in 2019 as part of the city's efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve air quality. The key objective was introducing electric buses to the city's public transportation system and replacing all diesel by 2030.

‍

The first two electric buses were put into service in 2020, and the city plans to add more in the coming years.

‍

One of the biggest challenges of introducing electric buses to a city's transportation system is ensuring that there are enough charging stations to support them.  

‍

Naturally, QuantumEV was there to help.
