National assessment of transit electrification in Canada: infrastructure costs, energy demand, and greenhouse gas reduction potential
Abstract
Battery electric buses (BEBs) offer a scalable solution for decarbonizing public transit; however, comprehensive national-level assessments remain limited. This study presents the first bottom-up evaluation of BEB adoption across Canada, using open-source data from 102 transit providers.
