The school district must also work with the utility to determine charging rates and the best charging times, and software platforms are available to help take advantage of these opportunities.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-3077fb8" data-id="3077fb8" data-element_type="column"> <div class="elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated"> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-7f4559d elementor-widget elementor-widget-image" data-id="7f4559d" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="image.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <figure class="wp-caption"> <img decoding="async" width="768" height="512" src="https://electrificationcoalition.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Sonnymerryman2-768x512.jpg" class="attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-6042" alt="A man connects a charger to a school bus" srcset="https://electrificationcoalition.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Sonnymerryman2-768x512.jpg 768w, https://electrificationcoalition.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Sonnymerryman2-300x200.jpg 300w, https://electrificationcoalition.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Sonnymerryman2.jpg 831w" sizes="(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px" /> <figcaption class="widget-image-caption wp-caption-text">Photo from Sonny Merryman</figcaption> </figure> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-ed53050 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer" data-id="ed53050" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="spacer.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <div class="elementor-spacer"> <div class="elementor-spacer-inner"></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-9a3fa25 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading" data-id="9a3fa25" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="heading.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <h2 class="elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default">Electric School Bus Roundtable Events</h2> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-6239342 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor" data-id="6239342" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="text-editor.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <p>The Electrification Coalition has partnered with World Resources Institute to host several state-specific discussions on opportunities to accelerate deployment of electric school buses.</p> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-3f78cf3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor" data-id="3f78cf3" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="text-editor.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <h3>Past Electric School Bus Roundtables</h3><p>The EC has hosted four roundtable discussions to discuss state-specific opportunities to accelerate the deployment of electric school buses.
