GreenPower Motor Company produces a complete line of high-floor and low-floor all-electric heavy-duty and medium-duty vehicles. The EV Star Cab & Chassis is their flagship model, and it can be customized to suit a wide range of applications. The design of the platform is based on a simple sheet of paper, which allows for optimum placement of the battery pack and a lower center of gravity. This results in higher range/payload ratios.
The EV Star REEFERX was designed for mid-to-last mile refrigerated deliveries as well as catering applications. The class 4 refrigerated truck's one wall structure inside and higher insulation than traditional trucks allow for seamless sanitation, better temperature control, and a longer life. The EV Star REEFERX delivers superior cargo capacity and green power a world-class payload to range ratio that is ideal for zero-emission goods and passenger transportation.
GreenPower joined forces with Perrone Robotics in order to equip the EV Star with TONY (To navigate you) autonomous vehicle systems that will allow fleets to transition to autonomous vehicles. The AV Star can also be wirelessly charging up to 75 kW.
We had the opportunity to test drive the EV9 for several hours on a local highway and found it to be a breeze to drive and comfortable for long distances. The ride is smooth and smooth over ruts and bumps, while the EV9 is a master of suppressing road noise and wind on the highway. The vehicle's acceleration is surprising fast, and it comes with adjustable regenerative brakes that allow "one-pedal driving" simply by taking off the accelerator.
The EV9 offers a great range and can be recharged in three hours or less at home, or by using any commercial charger. The driver can select from two operating modes - eco mode and sport mode. Eco mode is a great way to increase the torque, cruise control and handling, while sport mode increases speed. Both modes are fun to drive and provide a unique experience for those who've never been in a vehicle with an electrical system before.
GreenPower provides a variety of other EVs, including a multipurpose all-electric minibus dubbed the EV Star. The EV Star is ADA-compliant and can be used as executive shuttles, microtransit and transit vanpools, buses, or paratransit vehicles.
GreenPower produces around 10 EV Star busses a month for Jacksonville Transit Authority. The Jacksonville Transit Authority is replacing their fleet of diesel vehicles with 100 electric mobility scooter fastest vehicles. 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 FMVSS certified, Buy America compliant, and ADA conforming. This means they will 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 share more details about this revolutionary electric power scooters vehicle.
