Case Study: School District No. 22 saves 30 minutes each morning with Flipturn

School District No. 22 saves 30 minutes each morning with Flipturn

School District No. 22, which operates a fleet of electric school buses in British Columbia, faced a significant challenge during cold winters. Frigid overnight temperatures left bus batteries so cold that drivers had to arrive 30 minutes early to pre-warm them, and the buses risked a 30% reduction in range if not preconditioned. To address this, they turned to Flipturn.

Flipturn implemented a smart, schedule-based power management system that dynamically adjusts overnight charging. This approach keeps the bus batteries at an optimal temperature through a tailored trickle charge, ensuring they are fully preconditioned by morning. The solution from Flipturn saves drivers 30 minutes each morning, improves operational reliability in cold weather, and contributes to longer battery life.
