In order to prevent the global warming, the emission of greenhouse gases must be reduced. In the public transportation, an electric bus is suitable for realizing this. However, electric vehicles have been limited to political uses in public corporations due to the constraint of the battery weight. Therefore, the electric bus system charged at every bus stop has been proposed. In addition, the charging of electric power generated from green energy sources has been proposed. One of the characteristics is light weight of the storage device. A simulator calculating the consumption energy between bus stops is required in order to utilize this advantage. Though authors have developed the simulator using a single-seat electric vehicle, the effect of the number of passengers can not have been confirmed. Then, the effect on the consumption energy is examined using the minivan converted into the electric vehicle, and the relation is clarified.
