Kempower has teamed up with the Eastern Townships School Board (ETSB) and Bornes Quebec to launch a new electric vehicle (EV) charging system for school buses in Quebec, Canada.
The ETSB charging site, which began operations in 2024, is one of the first in North America commissioned by Kempower for school bus fleets. It uses Kempower’s cloud-based ChargEye software, which enables ETSB to manage and plan charging operations while generating reports to track potential carbon credits.
The system’s ability to scale, upgrade, and share power efficiently played a key role in the partnership with ETSB.
A key feature of the Kempower system is its ability to identify fleet buses when they’re plugged in, removing the need for a gated security system. This feature also allows the site to be used as a public charging station during off-hours, such as summer breaks, holidays, and after school. This business model is quickly gaining popularity among electric school bus operators
