Somewhere I read a while back (and I can't find the source right now) a local website stated that end of line bus charging stations would require the same power requirements as a convenience store and MB Hydro would have to reconfigure their local grid to provide the correct voltages and 3 phase if required. Another question was who would pay for the upgrades, Transit or Hydro?
Looking the Transit web page on the electric bus system it says the charger at WAA applies up to 300 kW to charge the battery.
There are also a few plug in areas for the electric buses at the transit complex off of Osborne but I don't know if they are as fast as the WAA overhead location.
