Committee reviews EV bus charger options; district awaits DTE guidance before proceeding
Summary
Chippewa Valley Schools administration presented options for an EV bus charger funded by the State Clean Bus Grant and the 2018 Bond Fund; the committee noted the district is waiting for final guidance from DTE on primary power and will revisit the item before the March 2, 2026 board meeting.
At its Feb. 2 Building & Site Sub-Committee meeting, Chippewa Valley Schools administration reviewed options for the purchase and installation of an electric vehicle (EV) bus charger. The minutes state the project would be funded in part by the State Clean Bus Grant and by the district's 2018 Bond Fund.
The minutes record that the Building & Site Committee reviewed and discussed the information supplied by administration. The district told the committee it is waiting for final guidance from DTE regarding primary power capacity/connection for the charger; the committee asked administration to return with additional information at the next Committee meeting so the item can be included in the March 2, 2026 board packet.
No formal motion, vendor selection, cost estimate, or construction timeline is recorded in the minutes. The minutes do not specify whether the charger is intended for overnight depot charging, opportunity charging, or other operational modes; those technical details were listed as pending further review.
Next steps: administration will gather DTE guidance on primary power and other technical details and present a fuller recommendation to the Building & Site Sub-Committee prior to the March 2 board meeting.
