​​Stockton Unified School District School Bus Replacement​

Stockton Unified School District submitted an application to receive grant funding under the California Energy Commission (CEC) Solicitation GFO-17-607 to replace two old diesel school buses. Stockton Unified School District was awarded funding for two vehicle-to-grid ready electric school buses and the supporting electric vehicle charging infrastructure. Stockton Unified School District purchased two electric school buses and installed two chargers through the CEC. The buses were placed into service on April 28, 2021, and districts were offered workforce training to help support the successful deployment of the new electric fleet. The old, diesel-powered buses were dismantled and removed from service. This project found that the electric school buses imposed a reduction of 15.1 short tons of Carbon Dioxide, .035 short tons of Carbon Monoxide, .015 short tons of Hydrocarbons, .008 of Particulate Matter 2.5, and .197 short tons of Oxides of Nitrogen, and that the electric school buses had an annual cost savings of $4,589.
