The BYD Auto K9S is a low floor battery-electic transit bus sold in Canada and the United States. It can be fully charged in three to four hours and can travel a distance of 233 kilometres (145 miles) in an urban environment. A higher capacity battery option increases the range to 346 kilometres (215 miles).[1] Shortly after introducing the 40-foot K9 to the North American market, BYD introduced the shorter K9S. In early 2016, St. Albert Transit became the first agency to order the K9S.
