I haven't decided what we are going to do with it.

Got some questions about your electric vehicles.   Do these vehicles get charged every day?  How long does it take to charge a vehicle from flat to fully charged?  How long are these  vehicles expected to last for?

The vehicles are charged every day.  Our current chargers are mobile chargers and charge a maximum 50 kW.  I understand fixed chargers can charge up to 300 kW.  The chargers we have acquired for Heathrow charge 150 kW.

Depending upon how much they use/ distance/ how the vehicle is driven and how much is used for heating then depends upon how long it takes to charge.  However, battery capacity is general circa 400 KW.  So on a 50 kW charger it would take 8 hours if empty.  I would say though - you are advised not to allow the batteries to empty.

Hello Simon, 

Well done for winning the contract for 540 Evesham - Tewkesbury. Can you give any idea as to what vehicles will be on this, and if any vehicles will be transferred / bought for this contract. Thank you.

Redditch depot doesn't have enough vehicles to operate the 3 additional PVR.  We are currently looking to acquire a few.  Most of the depot is now Streetlite, so I would imagine these will end up on the route at some point.

Does this have to be euro 6 operated?
