Nowadays data translated to the international system are approx. recharges every 3.5 miles (5 km) and 30 mph top speed (50 km). In Europe, distance between regular bus stops are smaller, so if the recharge every 2.5 km the recharging time would be 1-2 minutes (this is, less than the time passangers need to take on and off). Also, an alternative system for the air conditioning (ie fluid storage and/or recharge the liquid at bus stops or small- battery swapping only for air conditioning) can be found to extent the range (but this is optional). Another solution is use two charging points at the same time in the same bus stop. And logically, solar panels and (wind) microturbines would also extend the range. Regards.

I used to ride electric buses in Honolulu when I was young and regret that they were done away with in liu of diesel buses which produced black smoke and irritating fumes. I think that a real plus for capacitor buses is the fact that city air will cleaner to breath. I think that this type of vehicle will prove beneficial in downtown areas, especially where traffic is congested. India was forced to pass legislation outlawing older diesel motor vehicles in large cities because studies from health clinics showed an abnormally high incidence of respiratory ailments associated with diesel fumes. adrianakau2aol.com “And surprisingly the bus trips don’t take much longer than a regular bus trip because the quick charging occurs automatically when the bus extends a line from its roof to an overhead charger.”

Does it really work right now? Naaah...but ultracapcitors are only going to get better, and may soon reach the point where they make more sense than ICE engines.
