Today, Zūm celebrated its all-electric fleet of school buses in Oakland Unified School District (OUSD), making it the first major school district in the U.S. to transition to a 100% electrified school bus system. The EV fleet is also equipped with vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology, enabling the buses to return energy to the grid at scale when not in use. Today’s event included an EV bus tour and ride-along, a demonstration of Zum’s V2G technology and leaders who have been instrumental in this achievement, including Dr. Kyla Johnson-Trammell, Superintendent of OUSD; Patti Poppe, CEO of PG&E Corporation; and Cheree Peterson, EPA Region 9 Deputy Regional Administrator. “Today marks an exciting milestone in student transportation,” said Ritu Narayan, Founder and CEO at Zum. “By converting Oakland Unified’s school bus fleet to 100% electric, we are proving the case for sustainable transportation. Our electric school buses will also send untapped energy from bus batteries back to the grid, boosting Oakland’s power infrastructure. It’s a win-win for children, families, schools, drivers, and the entire community.” Learn more about this achievement: https://lnkd.in/ge2DezW9 #studenttransportation #EVs #V2G #AI #cleanenergy #Oakland
