*Energy Assumptions: (600KW/60 minutes * 9-minute charging
session *160 flights per day) = 14,400 KWh Transit Buses: 250KWh
per day * 5,700 Transit Buses = 1,425,000 MWh + weather &
extended operating hours
Low Volume Scenario:
160 Flights Per Day
14MWh Energy*
NYC MTA Transit Buses
(5700) could require as
much as 2 GWh
