The Albany Gazette - Envirotech Delivers Fourth Bumble Bee Electric School Bus in Past 15 Days

HOUSTON, TX / ACCESS Newswire / July 3, 2025 / Envirotech Vehicles, Inc. (NASDAQ:EVTV) ("Envirotech," "EVT", or the "Company") is pleased to announce the completed delivery of another EVT Bumble Bee electric school bus to Texas independent school districts. The bus was delivered this week to the Kopperl Independent School District ("Kopperl ISD") in Kopperl, Texas.

Under the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Clean School Bus ("CSB") Program-which was established to provide $5 billion over five years to replace existing fleets with zero-emission buses- $8,570,000 was awarded to cover the production and distribution of 25 electric school buses by Envirotech to school districts in Texas and Arkansas.

"We have now completed four bus deliveries in the past 15 days and expect to see growth in this segment continue to ramp up," remarked Jason Maddox, President and Interim Chief Financial Officer of Envirotech. "We express great thanks to the EPA for the Clean School Bus Program and look forward to additional school bus deliveries this year as well as the opportunity to potentially access additional grant funding to further expand this vertical in 2026."

The EVT Bumble Bee fast-charging 100% electric school bus has a proven range of up to 150 miles on a single charge with zero emissions and no noise pollution. It represents a significant improvement over conventional fossil fuel powered buses:

• Zero tailpipe emissions-students, drivers, and members of the community will be exposed to significantly less harmful diesel emissions like particulate matter and nitrogen oxides.

• Reduced greenhouse gas emissions compared to diesel school buses.

• Reduced maintenance costs due to regenerative braking and no engine or exhaust system.

• Potential for reduced fuel costs compared to diesel depending on electricity costs.

• Quiet, clean operation.

Kopperl ISD Superintendent Katrina Adcock was present when Envirotech delivered the Bumble Bee electric school bus to the district. "The bus was delivered this morning. It is super cool! Exciting times for Kopperl ISD and Bosque County."
