A user-friendly method to analyze cost effectiveness of different electric bus systems

• This paper is an update on a method to analyze and compare electric bus and charging systems from a totalcost perspective. The method is useful for proposing a suitable combination of bus and charger systemsdepending on the route specifications, timetables and other local conditions. In this update, a user-friendlytool which simplifies the analysis process is presented. The analysis tool enables the user to experimentallyinvestigate and quantify the trade-offs between parameters such as battery size, charging strategies andcharging infrastructure, vehicle fleet and operational costs from a total cost perspective
