Toshiba has published the results of tests of electric buses fitted with its wireless rapid rechargeable battery system. The test was carried out on a bus that had been converted to run off the new technology. The Japanese conglomerate developed a 44kW wireless rapid rechargeable battery system that charges the battery when the bus is parked over charging pads. This document is subject to copyright. The buses are powered by Toshiba's SCiB rechargeable batteries, which showed very little drop in performance, even after 15,000 rapid charge and discharge cycles.
