In recent years, new initiatives such as V2G operation have been active in the field of battery electric buses (BEBs), while changes on the energy infrastructure side such as the increase in renewable energy generation and the expansion of distributed generation, which is closely related to BEBs, have also been active. This study analyzes the constraints, interferences, and conflicts that arise between mobility, energy, and infrastructure when public electric mobility is considered based on the premise of widespread use of community grids. The simulator was developed under the assumption of multiple stakeholders surrounding BEBs in suburban area and under the situation where electricity can be traded between each stakeholder, such as households with EVs selling electricity at their destination. The results of the scenario analysis showed a significant decrease in the number of bus users and the revenue of the bus company, but also suggested the possibility of improving the revenue of the bus company through the operation of electricity trading by BEBs.
