Hood River Schools Add To EV Bus Fleet

The Hood River County School District has been getting more electric-powered buses.  Superintendent Bill Newton says they have been successful in receiving $2.8 million in grants, some to pay for solar panels at Wy’east Middle School to allow the gym there to be used as an emergency shelter with a battery that is actually in a bus.  In addition, Newton says they have gotten an electric van, two larger EV buses, and charging stations.  He notes these buses are effective in the local area.  Newton adds the technology behind EV buses continues to improve, making them more efficient.
