Thermal Balancing Across Cell
Our Buses are Built to Climb
• The K11 was road-tested by SMFTA engineers from February 2327, 2015
• It was able to repeatedly and consistently hit 25 mph on San
Francisco’s 20% grade hills
• Regenerative braking recovers battery energy going downhill
• Demonstration of the K11 climbing San Francisco’s Pennsylvania
Avenue — a 19% grade hill
How to Go All-Electric?
• Simple installation – each BYD vehicle includes an easy to install
and operate charging interface
• Engage with utilities early and often. Your utility will work with you
to provide the required power/transformers, etc.

Overcoming Obstacles:
• Range – BYD buses are built to have the longest ranges in the
industry,
• Demand Charges – Potential to challenge the business case for allelectric buses. BYD offers solutions: solar charging and battery
storage solutions, off peak charging
• Power Infrastructure – BYD has the lowest infrastructure related
costs on the market. Transit agencies, utilities & OEMs should work
together to plan the infrastructure side of the project.
