Risks

■ Charging infrastructure technically not mature

□ Failure leads to inoperability of electric buses on the affected line

□ Diesel buses must be kept in reserve higher TCO

■ Interoperability of charging infrastructure with other bus manufacturers

□ If new buses are procured, they have to be able to directly use the existing systemwithout profound adaption

■ Warranty for battery/vehicle/charging infrastructure

□ Who pays when errors occur that damage important components, e.g. the battery

■ Changes of Political situation/will

211

Conclusion and outlook

Is there a Business Case to use existing infrastructure?

□ It depends

□ Reduced costs for energy have significant positive impact

Battery electric buses will be a Business Case, if …

■ political will is strengthened – accordingly funding to overcome

high investment costs

■ the system reliability increases to the level of diesel buses

■ costs of all components are reduced (especially vehicle/battery)

■ interoperability of different manufacturers is ensured

□ standardization of coupling and charging devices
