GreenPower Motor Company produces a full line of high-floor as well as low-floor go green mobility Scooters all-electric medium and heavy-duty vehicles. The EV Star Cab & Chassis is their most popular vehicle and it is able to be adapted to meet a variety of applications. The design of the platform is based on a clear sheet of paper, which allows for optimum placement of the battery pack and a lower center-of-gravity. This leads to better payload/range ratios.
The EV Star REEFERX is designed to serve mid-to-last mile refrigerated delivery as well as catering applications. The refrigerated trucks of class 4' one interior wall structure and higher insulation than conventional trucks, allows for seamless sanitation and better temperature control. They also have a longer service life. The EV Star REEFERX provides superior capacity for cargo and a payload that is industry-leading to range for zero-emission transport of passengers or goods.
greenpower mobility has collaborated with Perrone Robotics to up-fit the EV Star with their TONY (To Navigate You) autonomous vehicle system, which will allow fleets to seamlessly change to autonomous vehicles. The AV Star can also be wirelessly charging up to 75 kW.
We were allowed to test drive the EV9 on the local highway for a few hours. We found it easy to drive, Powered Mobility Scooter and comfortable to drive long distances. The EV9 is able to suppress wind and road noise while on the highway. It glides effortlessly over ruts and humps. The acceleration is surprisingly fast and the car has adjustable regenerative braking to enable "one pedal driving" by simply taking off the accelerator.
The EV9 offers a great range and can be recharged in just three hours or less at home, or using any commercial charger. Drivers can select between two operating modes including eco mode and sports mode. Eco mode prioritizes torque and cruise control, as well as handling while sport mode maximizes speed. Both are a lot of fun to drive and offer a unique driving experience for those who have not driven an electric vehicle before.
GreenPower offers several other eVehicles that include a multi-purpose all-electric minibus called the EV Star. The EV Star is ADA compliant and can be used as an executive shuttle, micro-transit or transit vanpool, bus, or a paratransit vehicle.
greenpower mobility is currently producing around 10 EV Star buses a month for the Jacksonville Transit Authority, which is attempting to replace their fleet of old diesel vehicles with 100 all-electric wheel scooter vehicles. With the Biden Administration planning to electrify schools across the nation, GreenPower plans on ramping production to meet the demand. Their EV Star buses are the first of their kind to be Altoona tested and FMVSS-certified, Buy America compliant, and ADA certified. They will be eligible for federal transit grants. We will be following the AV Star as it begins its public demonstration tour the coming months. We will provide more details about this revolutionary EV.
