Electric Bus Depot ToU Scheduler — USA
Fit a US electric bus depot into super-off-peak windows; chargers needed and monthly savings.
US utilities increasingly offer EV-specific super-off-peak windows (often midnight–6am, default 6 h here). A 25-bus depot needs roughly 5.5 MWh a night — sequenced 120 kW charging and a ToU-aligned window decide whether the depot needs a new substation or not. Check whether your depot fits the window and what managed charging saves against flat-rate operation.
Hours = energy ÷ (chargers × kW × 92% efficiency). If the fleet doesn't fit, either add chargers, raise charger power, or sequence vehicles in two shifts — sequencing is free, hardware isn't.
Indicative estimates only, not financial or investment advice. Tariffs, subsidies and net-metering rules change — verify with your DISCOM, utility or installer before committing.

Frequently asked questions
How many chargers does my fleet actually need?+
Enough that fleet energy ÷ (chargers × kW × 0.92) fits inside your charging window — not one per vehicle. A 20-van fleet needing 700 kWh nightly fits an 8-hour window with just 9× 11 kW chargers and sequencing. The minimum-chargers output does this math directly.
What if my fleet doesn't fit the off-peak window?+
Three options, cheapest first: sequence vehicles in rotating groups (software/relays, nearly free), add chargers, or raise charger power. The tool shows the spill share charged at normal rates — price that monthly cost against each fix's capex.
Why is there a 92% efficiency factor?+
AC charging loses 6–10% between the meter and the pack (charger electronics, onboard converter, cable). Plans that ignore it come up short by exactly that margin at 5 a.m. — the calculator buys energy at the meter, where you pay.
Is sequencing charging hard to implement?+
Rarely. Most networked chargers support load-management groups natively; even dumb chargers can rotate via timer relays. The control investment is typically a fraction of one month's demand-charge savings — see the demand-charge tool for that side of the win.
