Abstract	In Canada, many transit agencies have plans to transition away from diesel to full electric fleets. Fleet transition to full electric comes with some uncertainties, since the technology is relatively new, and the infrastructure, operations and maintenance are different from conventional diesel fleets. In addition, long-range battery electric buses are limited in how far they can travel on a single charge, and refuel/recharge at a slower pace compared to diesel/hybrid buses. This research was carried out to better understand the experience and perspectives of stakeholders who interact with electric buses from the policy and planning stages through to end use, since the successful uptake of any technology depends heavily on its community of users and stakeholders.
