How does it compare?
Speed
The IVECO E-WAY 18m reaches a maximum speed of about 70 km/h (43 mph), which isn’t exactly going to blow your hat off, but does the job for urban commuting. The BYD K11M sneaks a little higher with 75 km/h (47 mph), while the Proterra Catalyst E2 matches BYD’s top speed with graceful ease. Not to be left behind, the New Flyer Xcelsior CHARGE NG and Volvo 7900 Electric also parade their 70 km/h (43 mph) speed with pride. Though, the velocity race ends rather benignly with all contenders dressed in urban adequacy.
Range
Rolling ahead, the IVECO E-WAY 18m boasts a strapping range of around 460 km (286 miles) on a single charge. The Proterra Catalyst E2 stretches the impressiveness with a herculean 560 km (348 miles), practically making others look like toddler steps. Close contenders, the BYD K11M strolls to a decent 300 km (186 miles) and the New Flyer Xcelsior CHARGE NG follows with an achievable 260 km (162 miles). Alas, the Volvo 7900 Electric, staying fairly content with its 200 km (124 miles), nods along comfortably.
Power
In the realm of raw power, the IVECO E-WAY 18m stamps its authority with approximately 300 kW (402 hp). The Proterra Catalyst E2 comes charging at a staggering 400 kW (536 hp), essentially putting the hammer down like Thor. The BYD K11M and the New Flyer Xcelsior CHARGE NG, however, share the power stage with robust 320 kW (429 hp) and 325 kW (435 hp) respectively. The Volvo 7900 Electric, keeping a Nordic upper lip, powers up with a sensible 200 kW (268 hp).
Charging Time
When its time to plug in and drink from the electric fountain, the IVECO E-WAY 18m takes around 4 to 5 hours to fully charge its 460 kWh battery. The Proterra Catalyst E2, unsurprisingly, takes slightly longer, gulping up a 660 kWh battery in about 5-6 hours. The BYD K11M and New Flyer Xcelsior CHARGE NG snugly sit around the 4-hour charging mark for a full recharge of their 324 kWh and 466 kWh batteries respectively. Meanwhile, Volvo 7900 Electric gets by with about 3-4 hours to fill up its modest 330 kWh battery.
Price
The cost of jumping on the electric revolution can be a wallet-wrenching affair. The IVECO E-WAY 18m starts around the $750,000 (approx. £620,000 or €710,000) mark. The Proterra Catalyst E2 sports a $799,000 (£665,000 or €755,000) tag, while the BYD K11M tags along around $700,000 (£580,000 or €660,000). Looking at the New Flyer Xcelsior CHARGE NG, youre looking at approximately $765,000 (£635,000 or €725,000) and the Volvo 7900 Electric humbly lists for $720,000 (£600,000 or €680,000).
The arena of electric buses is much like a modern-day Coliseum, with each gladiator bringing something unique to the battle. The IVECO E-WAY 18m sits prominently among its contenders, not necessarily thumping its chest as the strongest, but clearly standing its ground with refined sophistication and solid performance metrics.
