According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, the total cost of ownership for electric buses over 15 years is 65% higher than for propane buses. This translates to a significant financial burden for not only the city but taxpayers around the city. The cost for a propane para-transit bus is around $95,000, while diesel buses are priced similarly to propane but lack the same environmental benefits. Additionally, electric buses require significant infrastructure investments for charging stations, which can cost up to $480,000 for a small fleet of 10 vehicles. This includes site preparation, equipment, and installation, far exceeding the approximately $60,000 required for comparable propane refueling infrastructure\u200b.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6abf771 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"6abf771\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/micleanpropane.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Screenshot-2024-10-23-at-8.08.54\u202fAM.png\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"Screenshot 2024-10-23 at 8.08.54\u202fAM\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MzIzOSwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9cL21pY2xlYW5wcm9wYW5lLmNvbVwvd3AtY29udGVudFwvdXBsb2Fkc1wvMjAyNFwvMTBcL1NjcmVlbnNob3QtMjAyNC0xMC0yMy1hdC04LjA4LjU0XHUyMDJmQU0ucG5nIn0%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"606\" src=\"https:\/\/micleanpropane.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Screenshot-2024-10-23-at-8.08.54\u202fAM-1024x606.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-3239\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/micleanpropane.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Screenshot-2024-10-23-at-8.08.54\u202fAM-1024x606.png 1024w, https:\/\/micleanpropane.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Screenshot-2024-10-23-at-8.08.54\u202fAM-300x177.png 300w, https:\/\/micleanpropane.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Screenshot-2024-10-23-at-8.08.54\u202fAM-768x454.png 768w, https:\/\/micleanpropane.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Screenshot-2024-10-23-at-8.08.54\u202fAM.png 1258w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e1f380d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e1f380d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over the same 15-year period, electric buses would cost Lansing over $11 million more than propane buses.
