The 10 Most Scariest Things About Greenpower Mobility

Greenpower Mobility - All-Energy Medium and Heavy-Duty Vehicles

Greenpower develops, builds and distributes a full suite of high-floor and low-floor all-electric medium and heavy-duty vehicles. This includes transit buses as well as school buses as cargo buses as well as shuttles.

EV Star is a zero-emission vehicle with a high degree of customization. It's also FTA certified and Buy America compliant. It offers class-leading range, ADA wheelchair provisions, and cargo delivery setups.

EV Star

GreenPower Motor Company produces a full line of high-floor as well as low-floor all-electric medium and heavy-duty vehicles. Their flagship vehicle is the EV Star Cab & Chassis platform, which can accommodate a variety of upfits and bodies for multiple applications. The design of the platform is based on a simple paper sheet, which allows for optimum positioning of the battery pack and a lower center-of-gravity. This leads to better range/payload ratios.

The EV Star REEFERX is designed to meet the needs of mid to last mile refrigerated delivery and catering. The refrigerated truck's class 4 configuration's one interior wall structure and Electric wheel scooter higher insulation levels compared to traditional trucks allow for seamless sanitation, improved temperature control and a longer life. The EV Star REEFERX delivers superior cargo capacity and a top payload-to-range ratio for zero-emission passenger and cargo transportation.

GreenPower has partnered with Perrone Robotics to up-fit the EV Star with their TONY (To Navigate You) autonomous vehicle system. This will allow fleets to easily change to autonomous vehicles. The AV Star is also capable of wireless charging up to 75 kW.

We had the opportunity to test the EV9 for a few hours on a local highway and found it easy to drive and comfortable for long distances. The EV9 is able to suppress wind and road noise while on the highway. It is smooth on bumps and ruts. The car's acceleration is surprisingly fast, and it comes with adjustable regenerative brakes to enable "one-pedal driving" simply by lifting off the accelerator.

The EV9 offers a great range and can be recharged within three hours or less at home, or with any commercial charger. The driver can choose from two operating modes: eco mode and sport mode. Eco mode prioritizes torque as well as cruise control and handling while sport mode maximizes speed. Both are a lot of fun to drive and offer an unique experience for those who have not driven an electric vehicle before.

In addition to the EV9, GreenPower has several other electric vehicles, such as a multi-purpose, all-electric mini bus, called the EV Star. The EV Star is ADA compliant and can be used as an executive shuttle, transit or micro-transit bus, vanpool, or Green mobility scooter paratransit vehicle.

GreenPower produces around 10 EV Star buses per month for Jacksonville Transit Authority. The Jacksonville Transit Authority is replacing their fleet of diesel vehicles with 100 all-electric cars. GreenPower will increase production to meet the needs of the Biden Administration which wants to electrify all school buses in America. Their EV Star buses are the first of their kind to be Altoona tested and green power mobility reviews FMVSS certified. They are Buy America compliant, and ADA conforming. This means they'll be eligible for federal assistance in transit. We will be following the AV Star as it makes its demonstration tour in later this year. We will be sharing more information on this innovative EV.
