Metro’s battery bus fleet celebrates opening of charging facility and beginning of battery-electric bus service
 King County Executive Dow Constantine and King County Metro celebrated the opening of the test charging facility for Metro’s battery-electric fleet alongside the cities of Seattle and Tukwila, Seattle City Light, and representatives of New Flyer. The first battery-electric buses began service Wednesday afternoon.
This opening also marks the start of service for the first next-generation coaches provided by New Flyer. The test base, which can charge up to nine coaches simultaneously, was created with an “interchangeable design” that utilizes charging infrastructure from multiple manufacturers, meaning all the major battery-electric buses will be able to successfully charge at any station. The facility will also be able to charge electric vehicles already in use by Metro and King County.
