Electric bus charging infrastructure design

China [CN]

An important part of preparing for the electric bus ecosystem is to establish an adequate and efficient bus charging infrastructure.

The dynamics of EV charging infrastructure are different from those of other automotive sectors such as electric 2W, 3W and automobiles. Charging infrastructure has two main parts: charging solution and power infrastructure.

This includes the distinction between electric bus charging solutions:

Completely rely on commercial charging; Different from other automotive sectors, for example:

1. The electric bus does not have the specification and model of the household charging pile cable;

2. Compared with other vehicles, the battery capacity is 100kWh~200kWh, etc;

3. The output efficiency value of the charging connector is different from that of the charging connector selected for other vehicles, generally 80~120kW, etc; 4. The electric bus is applied in the urban public transport and transportation industries, and the charging equipment for vehicles needs to pay more capital than other electric vehicle fields;

Of course, while electric buses (passenger cars) provide power security, the power infrastructure needs to be coordinated through various sites and planning to achieve optimal charging facilities and provide additional security measures, control systems and auxiliary infrastructure.

Under the current market operation, electric buses develop various operations through different business models. Among them, the operation cost model is one of the modes to establish and operate the charging infrastructure of vehicles. Under the charging infrastructure layout, the manufacturers of charging equipment and charging cables operate by building the entire charging network, and jointly maintain the charging infrastructure of vehicles.

With the development of technology in the automotive era, the development of charging technology will be improved.
