Switch Mobility’s e-bus for BEST
Switch EiV 22 is the first air-conditioned electric double-decker bus designed, developed and manufactured entirely in India. The manufacturer claims that the double-decker electric bus is equipped with the “latest technology, ultra-modern design, maximum safety and best-in-class comfort features, providing a range of 250 km“.
Going into the technical features, the EiV 22 electric bus is equipped with a permanent magnet AC synchronous motor with a peak power of 235 kW (140 kW continuous) and a maximum torque of 3100 Nm. The double-decker bus can be recharged from 1.5 hours to 3 hours, and Switch claims it can travel 250 km before requiring a recharge. This particular bus has a seating capacity of 65, plus the driver’s seat. The EiV 22 is powered by a 231 kWh, liquid-cooled, high-density NMC chemistry battery pack with a dual-gun charging system.
