【Route 57】 of Taipei Bus shuttles between Banqiao and Zhonghe, serving as one of New Taipei City's cross-district Main Line Bus. It passes through eight schools, Fuzhong Shopping District, Global Mall, Lehua Night Market, and other commercial areas, forming a key route connecting commuting, education, and tourism.
The replacement of diesel buses with electric buses at the Nanya Station, located on both sides of Hua-dong Street in Banqiao, posed challenges due to its limited space and proximity to residential areas. After bus service hours, around 30 buses are parked simultaneously, and simultaneous charging would exacerbate the space constraints or land requirement. However, due to the fast-charging features, Master electric buses can be charged from 20% to 80% in just 15 minutes, utilizing the interval time between shifts for rapid charging, allowing for immediate deployment. Furthermore, with only three charging stations needed for all 23 buses, Nanya Station can complete the seamless transition from diesel to electric buses without altering the existing parking lot layout. The switch to fast-charging buses also significantly reduces noise and exhaust impact on nearby residents.
With only three charging stations installed, Nanya Station of Taipei Bus can meet the operational needs of all 23 electric buses every day.
