An '''electric bus''' is a [[bus]] powered by electricity.

There are two main electric bus categories:

* The [[trolleybus]] is a type of electric bus powered by two overhead electric wires, from which it draws [[electricity]] using two [[trolley pole]]s.
* The stored-electricity bus:
**[[Battery electric bus]]. The main batteries can be stored inside the bus [[coach]] (where there is the electric motor), in a rear [[baset trailer]] to extend the range or in both. When the batteries in the baset are discharged, another charged baset can be attached to the bus to replace the first.
** [[Gyrobus]].
