Various charging concepts for electric buses are currently in use around the world. However, although certain standardizations could be achieved, there is up to the date when this report was written no widely accepted, predominantly used solution in place yet.
A rather unconventional technical solution is applied by the Czech town of České Budějovice, also known as Budweis in the German-speaking countries and well-known for its famous beer. In November 2018, three new shuttle services 21, 22 and 23 were introduced in order to connect large parking lots (Park&Ride) at different entrance points to the town with the inner city areas. The guiding principle hereby was to minimize individual traffic into the city.
