Bus operators will be some of the biggest winners in the switch to electric vehicles (EVs) with daily savings of up to Sh8,600 or 66 percent compared to diesel-powered engines for a 260-kilometre journey.
Simulations by the energy regulator show an electric bus uses an average of 115-kilowatt hours (kWh) for a 260-kilometre trip at a cost of Sh4,440, compared to Sh13,064 for 65 litres that a diesel-powered bus would use.
