West Virginia to roll out first electric school buses this fall
GreenPower Motor Company plans to begin manufacturing in South Charleston this September with up to 200 initial jobs and later expansion to 900 positions as West Virginia pursues a pilot program. Buses promise 140 mile range and a 3.5 hour recharge. Federal rebates for large buses at 375000 and 285000 for smaller units boost district purchases. Governor Justice directed development of a school district outreach to maximize federal funding.
