PINELLAS COUNTY – The Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority Board voted 9-5 voted back in  February of 2017 to buy two electric buses – the first in the county to buy electric buses 

The buses will come from Los Angeles-based BYD Motors, which says it is the world’s largest electric vehicle manufacturer in both consumer electric and commercial/industrial vehicles. The 35-foot-long buses are battery-powered, zero-emission buses. Officials said the buses are expected to have a best range of 160 miles on a full charge. The batteries are warrantied for 12 months and BYD will provide operator training and maintenance. The cost for the two, including charging equipment, is not to exceed $2.2 million. And the contract allows the PSTA to order up to 20 additional electric buses, subject to funding availability.

these buses will come next year of 2018  and the fleet numbers wil be 18110-18111 they will be byd K9 models 

The county has set aside $589,000 for the charging station, although officials want St. Petersburg to kick in some funds.
