    They can recharge mid-day when generation is highest, which helps balance supply, and in theory they could still help in the afternoon after they finish their routes say 5/6pm

      Yeah you’d definitely charge mid day, but you don’t need reverse charging for that. I’d think you’d size the battery just large enough for your route. So there wouldn’t be much energy left over to put into the grid. Maybe when the bus is new or when they don’t need to run the AC or heading you’d be able to put more energy back into the grid?
