40 Full Fleet Characteristics As part of this synthesis report, a survey was developed to capture the current state of the practice for transit agencies deploying BEBs. This extensive survey, provided in Appendix A, captured the many aspects and considerations related to deploying this technology, which is new to many agencies.

Survey results and agency Characteristics 43 seven agencies use buses with traction batteries between 300 to 325 kWh. As expected, BEBs with the larger batteries were typically used in a depot charge configuration, while on-route charged BEBs were able to use smaller battery packs, as shown in Figure 19.
