The 10 Most Scariest Things About Greenpower Mobility

Greenpower Mobility - All-green energy mobility scooters Medium and Heavy-Duty Vehicles

Greenpower designs and distributes a full suite of low-floor and high-floor all-green power electric scooter medium and heavy-duty vehicles. This includes school cargo buses, buses for cargo, and shuttles.

EV Star is a highly customizable zero-emission vehicle that's fully FTA certified, Altoona tested and Buy America conforming. It has a class-leading range and ADA wheelchair provisions. It also offers cargo delivery configurations.

GreenPower Motor Company manufactures a complete line of heavy- and medium-duty electric vehicles, including lower-floor and high-floor models. Their flagship vehicle is the EV Star Cab & Chassis platform, which can be used to accommodate a variety of upfits and bodies for multiple applications. The platform's design is based on a clean paper that allows for optimum placement of the battery pack and a lower center-of-gravity. This results in higher payload/range ratios.

The EV Star REEFERX is designed to serve mid-to-last mile refrigerated delivery and catering applications. The class 4 refrigerated truck's one wall structure inside and higher insulation compared to traditional trucks enable seamless sanitation, better temperature control and a more extended life. The EV Star REEFERX provides superior cargo capacity and an industry leading payload-to-range ratio for zero-emission passenger and cargo transportation.

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

We had the opportunity to test drive the EV9 for a few hours on a local freeway, and found it to be a breeze to drive and comfortable for long distances. The ride is smooth and smooth over bumps and ruts, while the EV9 does a great job of suppressing wind and road noise on the highway. The acceleration is surprisingly quick and the vehicle has adjustable regenerative braking to enable "one pedal driving" by lifting off of the accelerator.

The EV9 offers a great range and can be charged in just three hours or less at home, or with any commercial charger. Drivers can select between two modes of operation: eco mode and sports mode. The eco mode prioritizes the cruise control and torque and the sport mode is designed to maximize speed and handling. Both modes are fun to drive, and offer a unique experience for those who haven't driven an electrical vehicle before.

GreenPower offers a variety of other electric vehicles which include a multi-purpose electric minibus, called the EV Star. The EV Star is ADA compliant and can be utilized as an executive shuttle, micro-transit or transit vanpool, bus or a paratransit vehicle.

GreenPower produces about 10 EV Star buses per month for the Jacksonville Transit Authority. The Jacksonville Transit Authority is replacing their older diesel vehicles fleet with 100 electric power scooters vehicles. With the Biden Administration planning to electrify school buses across the country, GreenPower plans on ramping production to meet demand. Their EV Star buses are the first of their kind to be Altoona tested and FMVSS-certified, Buy America compliant, and ADA compliant. This will make them eligible for federal transit grants. Check back when we follow the AV Star on its demonstration tour later this year. We will share more details about this revolutionary electric vehicle.
