In 1907, the world’s first charging station for an electric bus was installed in London. This was a momentous occasion, as it marked the first step in making electric buses a viable form of public transportation. This new technology allowed for electric buses to travel further distances than ever before and helped to reduce emissions in the city.

The charging station was powered by an overhead cable that ran along the route, and the bus was able to collect electricity while in motion. This allowed the bus to travel further distances than it could with the battery alone, and made it much more efficient.

The introduction of this technology to London was a huge success and helped to pave the way for electric buses to become commonplace in cities around the world.
