All battery/electric bus fleet
On Thursdays Wichita KS will convert it's bus fleet to all battery/electric bus fleet. With set routes and know range I think this is a wise use of a electric vehicle.

Inductive charging at some stops would work. However, that does take time to install.
Inductive charging is VERY inefficient...worse yet if the distance between primary and secondary coils are far apart
Then the weight and space of the secondary on the vehicle might be a problem, but bus...so might be okay in that app
Frequency management is another issue to be solved for moving vehicle vs stationary vehicle
Then all RFID components (credit cards, ID cards, dog/cat chips, etc) will all power up and broad cast their info..
The losses and system on small devices is acceptable, but not so for EV,BEV level of power requirements
