Natomas Unified School District was awarded funding for three vehicle-to-grid ready electric school buses and the supporting electric vehicle charging infrastructure. Natomas Unified School District purchased three electric school buses and installed three chargers through the CEC. The buses were placed into service on June 9, 2020 and districts were offered workforce training to help support the successful deployment of the new electric fleet. The old, diesel-powered buses were also dismantled and removed from service.
