Electric School Minibuses Perfect for Inner-City Schools
Electric minibuses are an ideal choice for any inner-city or suburban school in the UK. With short recharge times (as little as 34 minutes), average battery ranges from 150 to 220 miles, and ULEZ compliance, they serve as an eco-friendly alternative to their petrol or diesel counterparts.
At GM School Minibus, we have over 30 years of experience offering minibus travel solutions nationwide for primary schools, secondary schools, colleges and beyond.
What Electric Minibus is best for my school?
The right choice depends on your school’s specific needs. Capacity is often the first factor: some schools prefer a larger 16-seater minibus to transport whole classes, while others opt for multiple 9-seater electric minivans for flexibility and smaller groups.
Other considerations include:
- Range: For daily school runs, a mid-range option like the Citroën ë-SpaceTourer or Ford E-Transit may be ideal, while the Maxus eDeliver 9 or Peugeot e-Boxer offers extended range for longer journeys.
- Charging time: Overnight charging works well for most schools, but rapid-charge capability can be useful if vehicles are in constant use.
- Accessibility: Wheelchair access and interior layout may influence whether a van or larger minibus suits you best.
- Running costs & grants: Electric minibuses qualify for low-emission incentives and can significantly cut fuel and servicing expenses compared with diesel.
At GM Minibuses, we offer a range of electric models so you can balance seating, range, and budget with confidence. Our team can advise on the best fit for your routes, passenger needs, and long-term savings.

We provide direct national delivery to anywhere in the UK for any new, used or leased school minibus or minivan you require. We have over 30 years of experience working with primary schools, secondary schools, colleges, sixth forms, universities and beyond.

Electric minibuses can help reduce running costs, lower emissions, and provide a comfortable and quieter ride for both students and staff. Electric minibuses are ideal for schools and trips into towns and cities in the UK with ULEZ and clean air zone restrictions in place.
Schools can also benefit from government grants and showcase their commitment to sustainability.
A minibus with a range of 150-220 will cover daily school runs and local trips with ease. For longer distance field trips, the increase in EV charging points allows charging can be scheduled around breaks and activities.
We offer a full range of accessibility options for our electric school minibus vehicles. Options include wheelchair ramps and specialist seating layouts, to ensure inclusivity for all students. For more information our friendly team is on hand to help.
If you are planning to purchase electric minibuses for your school, or looking to hire your vehicles (such as through our 3, 4 and 5-year contract hire/leasing options), installing EV may be the most convenient option.
