Photo: First Student</div> </div> <div> <div><p>Known as First Charge, this above-ground, trenchless system streamlines the electrification process for school districts, avoiding costly trenching even in cold climates. It also supports other electric vehicles, such as garbage trucks and delivery vans.</p><p>First Charge can reduce construction costs by up to 50%, with a flexible design that allows districts to expand their electric bus fleets over time. The system is tailored to each deployment, giving school administrators confidence that buses will be ready to serve students reliably each day.</p><p>The system supports up to 25 buses per power module and is easier to modify than traditional buried infrastructure, which is often costly and limits future growth.</p><p>First Charge eliminates barriers like expensive and complex infrastructure, helping districts meet electrification mandates while improving safety and health for students. Paired with the Charging-as-a-Service (CaaS) model, First Student says it offers a complete solution that manages energy, charge scheduling, and vehicle maintenance on a subscription basis.</p></div> </div> <div class="node-image mdl-cell-12-col"> </div> <div class="clearfix tags my-4"> <span class="badge badge-lg primary-bg font-light me-1 mb-1"><a href="/electrification-fleets" hreflang="en">Electrification of fleets</a></span> <span class="badge badge-lg primary-bg font-light me-1 mb-1"><a href="/company-news" hreflang="en">Company News</a></span> <span class="badge badge-lg primary-bg font-light me-1 mb-1"><a href="/charging-accessibility" hreflang="en">Charging accessibility</a></span> </div> </div> </article> </div> <div class="views-element-container companies-in-node-block block" id="block-evci-views-block-companies-in-node-block-1"> <h2>For more information on companies in this article</h2> <div><div class="js-view-dom-id-4278fa04139b0f52d1ca0e1a95fa2f1dfc245f9089f70671db63ffed9cbe8c9e"> <div class="views-row"><div class="views-field views-field-field-premium"><div class="field-content"></div></div><div class="views-field views-field-title"><span class="field-content"><a href="/first-student" hreflang="en">First Student</a></span></div></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="views-element-container section-wrap mb-4 block" id="block-evci-views-block-solr-index-block-1"> <h2>Related Content</h2> <div><div class="js-view-dom-id-36af68c040a329720a8c7f4db74169f4cd05531430d218af169fb7e3fd2b7e10"> <div class="views-view-responsive-grid views-view-responsive-grid--horizontal" style="--views-responsive-grid--column-count:2;--views-responsive-grid--cell-min-width:100px;--views-responsive-grid--layout-gap:10px;"> <div class="views-view-responsive-grid__item"> <div class="views-view-responsive-grid__item-inner"><article data-history-node-id="2850" about="/news/l-charge-partners-alto-expand-its-ev-fleet"> <div class="article-teaser-solr-container my-2"> <div class="d-flex justify-content-between"> <div class="meta"> <div class="col font-sm font-grey"> January 28, 2025 </div> <div class="font-md font-dark bold"> <div> <a href="/news/l-charge-partners-alto-expand-its-ev-fleet" rel="bookmark"> <span>L-Charge partners with Alto to expand its EV fleet</span> </a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="img text-end"> <img loading="lazy" src="/sites/evci/files/2025-01/L-Charge-Alto.jpg" width="900" height="675" alt="L-Charge’s charging stations can be immediately deployed to any location, ensuring a swift setup without the constraints of construction timelines or grid connectivity.
