The contractor, Switch Mobility, hopes to get the necessary certification soon.<\/p>\n<p>Switch Mobility, a subsidiary of Ashok Leyland, is to deliver 50 buses in the first phase, and 10 of them are expected to arrive soon. Each vehicle costs INR 2 crore, and it can carry around 90 passengers. Best plans to introduce a total of 200 such buses, named EiV22.<\/p>\n<p>The induction of 200 such buses will reduce the undertaking&#8217;s carbon footprint by 41 per cent and save 26 million litres of diesel per year. Each vehicle has a 231 kwh battery with a claimed range of up to 250 km. However, an operational run of 160-180 km can only be expected due to traffic, weather conditions, etc. The bus can cover 100 km with just a 45 minute charge, while a full charge takes 80 minutes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>India&#8217;s first AC double-decker electric buses have joined Best (Brihanmumbai Electric Supply &amp; \u00a0Transport) fleet.
