GreenPower has partnered with Perrone Robotics to up-fit the EV Star with their TONY (To Navigate You) autonomous vehicle system, which 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 the EV9 for several hours on a local freeway, and found it easy to drive and comfortable for long distances. The EV9 can block road noise and wind while driving on the highway. It is smooth on ruts and humps. The vehicle's acceleration is surprising quick, and it features adjustable regenerative brakes to enable "one-pedal driving" simply by lifting off the accelerator.
The EV9 has excellent range and can be fully recharged in about three hours at home or using any commercial charger. Drivers can select between two operating modes including eco mode and sports mode. Eco mode is a great way to increase torque as well as cruise control and handling, while sport mode increases speed. Both modes are fun to drive and offer a unique experience for those who have never experienced driving an electric vehicle before.
In addition to the EV9, GreenPower has several other e-vehicles available, such as a multi-purpose, all-electric mini bus, called the EV Star. The EV Star is ADA compliant and can be utilized as an executive shuttle, transit or micro-transit vanpool, bus or a paratransit vehicle.
GreenPower is already producing around 10 EV Star buses per month for the Jacksonville Transit Authority, which is working to replace their fleet of old diesel vehicles with 100 fully electric vehicles. GreenPower will increase production to meet the needs of the Biden Administration, which is looking to electrify all school buses in America. Their EV Star bus is the first of its kind to be tested by Altoona and FMVSS-certified. Buy America compliant and ADA compliant. This means that they are eligible for federal assistance in transit. We will be following the AV Star as it makes its demonstration tour later this year. We will be sure to give more details about this EV that is truly innovative!
