An overview of the worldwide deployment of Electric Buses (EBs) is presented with a focus on TRANSDEV strategy. The results show an important increase in the EBs sells during the last decade. Nevertheless, because of the size of their batteries, EBs fleets could have significant impacts on the grid, which requires a smart charging management. The second part of this paper uses optimization algorithm to search for optimal plans that minimize an objective function (charging cost, load power variations, battery aging...) while taking into account several constraints like bus operating constraints and constraints related to the charging infrastructure.
