Why A-Z Bus Sales?

There are so many options for vehicle charging solutions in the world today that it can be quite overwhelming. To add to the confusion, there are many “new” startups in this space that have very little experience and, let’s face it, just don’t understand the bus-world.

A-Z Bus Sales, the largest electric bus dealership in the US, has a DEDICATED team of EV charging experts who know YOUR buses, know YOUR routes, UNDERSTAND your operations and know you that you RELY on A-Z Bus Sales to be your fleet electrification experts.

Your A-Z Infrastructure Team will manage the entire infrastructure process for you, all the way from your first consultation to commissioning and charging your first bus. Eliminate the finger pointing when trouble arises and have your infrastructure installed right, the FIRST TIME!

Grant Assistance

“How will I pay for this?” is something we hear often. A-Z has been helping fleets secure grants and other available funding for years. There are a good number of grants and utility programs available to offset or even sometimes completely cover the cost of your chargers and infrastructure.

Our dedicated grants department can take all the heavy lifting out of applying for and tracking grant projects so you can continue focusing on your operation. If you are interested in our no-charge grant assistance, please complete the interest form here and we’ll help!

Charging Hardware

What charger is the right fit for you?

  • Do you just need standard Level 2 chargers or do you need something with a little more, like a DC fast charger? Or a mix of both?
  • Do you own or rent/lease your property?
  • Do you need something modular that you can eventually move or do you need something that moves around every day?
