1. An apparatus comprising an electrochromic device, wherein the electrochromic device comprises:
a first power supply terminal electrically coupled to a first bus bar;
a second power supply terminal electrically coupled to the first bus bar;
a first transparent conductive layer, wherein the first bus bar is directly coupled to the first transparent conductive layer;
a second bus bar that is directly coupled to the first transparent conductive layer;
a substrate; and
a third bus bar disposed between the substrate and the first transparent conductive layer, wherein:
the first bus bar, the second bus bar, or each of the first and second bus bars overlies a second transparent conductive layer,
the first and second bus bars are offset from each other by a gap along a length of a side of the apparatus,
the gap is about 10% to about 90% of the length,
the first bus bar is directly coupled to the first power supply terminal, and
the first bus bar is directly coupled to the second power supply terminal, and
further comprising a controller configured to cause the first and second power supply terminals to be at different voltages during a same time period.
