Anyhow, the customary charging infrastructure confines the driving distance and charging systems that empower long driving distance is very expensive. With one full charge of around three hours, these buses can keep running up to around 250 kilometers. As indicated by an authority of the APSRTC, charging stations will be set up at Alipiri, Mangalam, Tirumala and Srikalahasti terminals.

With a seating limit of 40, these electric buses will have present-day passenger luxuries and are said to be safeguarded as they are furnished with safety measures and shielded from short-circuits.

These transports will certainty help RTC to relieve from fuel burden as the Corporation was spending an enormous sum on diesel, thereby it can benefit the RTC financially. According to an estimate, it costs the Corporation Rs 20 per km with diesel and with electric buses they can save up to Rs 14 per km. The buses made preliminary runs to Tirumala and the feedback was submitted to RTC executives.
