The final two buses were the first to be completed by BYD after reopening its plant during the pandemic.
The wireless charging system was developed by Pa.-based Momentum Dynamics.
The initiative is the culmination of a nearly two-year long project to equip all Link buses with GPS hardware that allows the bus to be tracked by riders.
Company will manage maintenance, operations and dispatch of the five-route system for the Link System Public Transit Committee.
The K9S is a 35-foot derivative of the BYD K9 40-foot bus, with more than 6,000 now running in revenue service in cities from Los Angeles, to London and Hong Kong.
The focus on environmentally friendly practices in the transit industry continues, with the help of economic stimulus grants and support from industry association programs and events.
The project is expected to eliminate 688 metric tons of carbon dioxide and equivalents from the air each year, or 8,250 metric tons over the lives of the vehicles.
