WideSense Adaptive EV Consumption Models-as-a-Product

WideSense Adaptive EV Consumption Models take the guesswork out of scheduling electric buses. Unlike gas or diesel buses, Battery-Electric eBuses have varying energy needs depending on the route, traffic, and weather—factors that change daily. Many transit agencies rely on rough estimates or averages, leading to either unnecessary extra buses or the risk of vehicles running out of charge mid-route. WideSense uses real-world data to train digital twins and create accurate energy forecasts for every bus, every trip, at any time of day, helping transit agencies schedule with confidence.

By continuously learning from actual bus performance, WideSense ensures agencies can optimize schedules, avoid unnecessary costs, and keep passenger service running smoothly. It works with existing scheduling software, making it easy to integrate without disrupting operations. The result? More efficient electric bus use, fewer service disruptions, and a smarter, more cost-effective transition to sustainable transit.
