Electrification of public transportation promises substantial reductions in urban greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution. However, widespread adoption faces technical and policy challenges. High upfront costs for electric buses and infrastructure deter many transit agencies. Battery production relies on critical raw materials, raising concerns about supply chains and environmental impacts. Power grid capacity must be upgraded to handle increased electricity demand, often requiring renewable energy integration. Policy inconsistencies and lack of coordinated urban planning further complicate transitions. Addressing these bottlenecks demands supportive regulations, financial incentives, and partnerships between governments, industry, and communities. Success will depend on holistic approaches balancing environmental, economic, and social goals.
