KSRTC EV power plus @KSRTC_Journeys

@ChristinMP_TOI @KSRTC_Journeys Awesome. Two qns: 1. We seem to be experimenting with many vendors (Switch/AL, Olectra etc). Any clear winner? 2. If there is a 2 hr jam midway on the highway, assuming AC keeps running, will the bus have enuf juice to get to destn?

@KSRTC_Journeys 1) Too early to say 2) Once it is fully charged, an e-bus could cover 320Km. KSRTC has designed e-bus routes in such a way that it will utilise only 80% charge. KSRTC will also have a standby vehicle/staff.

@ChristinMP_TOI @KSRTC_Journeys Any idea ,when @KSRTC_Journeys is going to start bng - davangere electric bus?

@ChristinMP_TOI @KSRTC_Journeys Are electric busses even needed for intercity travel? We need to have some objective analysis on this matter. Everything doesn’t have to go electric, it’s not like we’re generating 100% clean electricity right now.

@ChristinMP_TOI @KSRTC_Journeys Please introduce bus to Mysore from the new Kuvempunagara (BTM layout) bus stand. This will benefit South Bangalore.

@ChristinMP_TOI @KSRTC_Journeys Good to see.. Start few buses from Kalaburagi to Bidar too..

@ChristinMP_TOI @KSRTC_Journeys Wow 🤩.. more such buses pls 😊

@ChristinMP_TOI @KSRTC_Journeys I saw a switch bus in traffic near sirsi circle. Might be mistaken but sounded like a hybrid idling on an ICE Engine..might have been the cooler or fan systems. They surely look swanky.

@ChristinMP_TOI @KSRTC_Journeys First electrify all the city buses to reduce pollution
