GreenPower Motor Company manufactures a complete range of heavy and medium-duty electric power scooters vehicles, including lower-floor and high-floor models. The EV Star Cab & Chassis is their most popular vehicle and it can be customized to suit a variety of applications. The design of the platform is based on a simple paper sheet, which allows for optimal 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 refrigerated truck's class 4 design's one wall structure inside and higher insulation than traditional trucks enable seamless sanitation, mobility power better temperature control, and a longer life. The EV Star REEFERX provides superior capacity for cargo and an industry-leading payload to reach the range of zero-emission goods or passenger transportation.

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 easily transition to autonomous vehicles. The AV Star will also be able to support wireless charging at 75 kW.

We had the chance to test the EV9 for several hours on a local highway and found it to be easy to drive and comfortable for long distances. The ride is smooth on ruts and bumps, while the EV9 is a master of reducing the sound of traffic and wind on the highway. The acceleration is quite quick, and the car comes with adjustable regenerative braking that allows "one pedal driving" by simply 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. The driver can select from two operating modes - eco mode and sport mode. Eco mode prioritizes the torque as well as cruise control and handling while sport mode focuses on speed. Both are a lot of fun to drive and offer an unique experience for anyone who has not driven an electric vehicle before.

In addition to the EV9, GreenPower has several other e-vehicles available, including a multi-purpose all-electric mini bus called the EV Star. The EV Star is ADA-compliant and can be used for executive shuttles, transit or microtransit vanpools, buses, and paratransit vehicles.

GreenPower is currently 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 all-electric vehicles. GreenPower will increase production to meet the demands of the Biden Administration who is planning 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 certified. This means they'll be eligible for federal assistance in transit. We will be following the AV Star as it begins its public demonstration tour the coming months. We will be sure to share more details on this amazing electric vehicle!
