According to reports, the Montgomery County Public Schools, one of the major school districts in the US, has the largest fleet of electric school buses in the entire nation. In addition to installing electric infrastructure at one of its transportation hubs, the first 25 electric buses were delivered last year. They have since expanded their fleet with 61 more electric buses. This is a component of the Montgomery County Public Schools' plan to switch from diesel to electric school buses by the year 2025, which calls for 326 buses. It will have an entirely electric school bus fleet in ten years.

At Walter Johnson High School in Bethesda, Highland Electric Fleets participated in a ribbon-cutting event. For school districts, Highland Electric Fleets design and coordinate initiatives involving electric school buses. Additionally, they develop a subscription program that covers upgrades to the depot, buses, and chargers.

Additionally, the business purchases electric school buses and oversees the development of depot renovations inside school districts. Also, Read- An Electric Vehicle Boom May Nearly Quadruple BYD’s Nine-month Profits

Each school district is free to select the brand and model of electric school buses that they like. Montgomery County now employs electric school buses made by Thomas Built. While some are Type A, which is smaller, some are Type C, which has a standard battery capacity of 226 kWh.
