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 seamlessly move to autonomous vehicles. The AV Star will also be able of wireless charging up to 75 kW.
We had the opportunity to test drive the EV9 for several hours on a local freeway and found it to be easy to drive and comfortable for long distances. The EV9 is able to suppress wind and road noise while driving along the highway. It glides effortlessly over bumps and ruts. The acceleration of the vehicle is astonishingly quick, and it has adjustable regenerative brakes that allow "one-pedal driving" simply by releasing the accelerator.
The EV9 is extremely reliable and can be fully recharged in just three hours at home or with any commercial charger. The driver can select from two operating modes: eco mode and sport mode. The eco mode prioritizes the torque and cruise control and the sport mode is designed to maximize speed and handling. Both are a lot of fun to drive and offer an unique experience for those who have not driven an green electric scooter 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 utilized as an executive shuttle, micro-transit, transit bus, vanpool or paratransit vehicle.
greenpower scooter produces around 10 EV Star buses per month for the Jacksonville Transit Authority. The Jacksonville Transit Authority is replacing their older diesel vehicles fleet with 100 all-green power electric scooter cars. With the Biden Administration looking to electrify school buses nationwide, GreenPower plans on ramping production to meet the demand. Their EV Star bus is the first of its kind to be tested in Altoona and FMVSS-certified. Buy America compliant and ADA conforming. This will make them eligible for federal transit grants. We will be following the AV Star as it goes on its demonstration tour in the coming months. We will provide more information on this amazing electric vehicle!
