Florida’s Manatee school district will start running two plug-in hybrid school buses from IC Corporation next month, GreenCarCongress reports. The two hybrids are part of a 19-bus order placed by a group of school districts, state energy agencies and private school bus operators in 11 states.

Each hybrid costs $225,000. With volume purchasing, officials expect the price to settle out at around $100,000 apiece.
