District 203 continues electric vehicle investments

Naperville School District 203 is continuing its investments into electric vehicles with the purchase of a charging station, at a cost of $239,592. The board of education approved the purchase on Monday.

The charging station will be used to power District 203’s four electric school buses and four electric vehicles for driver’s education. Excel Electric, the lowest bidder, provided the $239,592 quote. A total of eight contractors provided bids, with the highest at $395,000.

Board member Melissa Kelley Black, who was absent from the meeting, had requested the agenda item be tabled. But administrators asked for immediate action, citing the pressing need for the charging station, and the six board members in attendance approved the purchase.
