GreenPower Motor Company produces a full suite of high-floor and low-floor all-electric heavy-duty and medium-duty vehicles. Their flagship vehicle is the EV Star Cab & Chassis platform, which can be used to accommodate many different body designs and upgrades for a variety of applications. The design of the platform is based on a simple paper that allows for the best placement of the battery and a lower center-of-gravity. This leads to better range/payload ratios.
The EV Star REEFERX is designed to serve mid to last mile refrigerated delivery and catering applications. The refrigerated truck's class 4 configuration'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 a top payload to range ratio for zero-emission goods and passenger transportation.
GreenPower has partnered with Perrone Robotics to up-fit the EV Star with their TONY (To Navigate You) autonomous vehicle system. This will allow fleets to quickly move to autonomous vehicles. The AV Star will also be able to support wireless charging of 75 kW.
We were capable of testing the EV9 on a local highway for several hours, and found it to be simple to drive and comfortable to drive over long distances. The ride is smooth on bumps and ruts, and the EV9 does a great job of suppressing the sound of traffic and wind on the highway. The acceleration is extremely quick, and the car comes with adjustable regenerative braking to enable "one pedal driving" by simply lifting the accelerator.
The EV9 is extremely reliable and can be fully charged in just three hours at home, or using any commercial charger. The driver can select from two operating modes: eco mode and sport mode. Eco mode focuses on the torque as well as cruise control and handling, while sport mode increases speed. Both are a lot of fun to drive and offer a unique driving experience for anyone that has not driven an electric vehicle before.
GreenPower provides a variety of other EVs that include a multi-purpose all-electric minibus called the EV Star. The EV Star is ADA compliant and can be utilized as an executive shuttle, micro-transit or transit vanpool, bus, or green mobility scooters scooters (Nativ.media) a paratransit vehicle.
GreenPower is already producing about 10 EV Star buses a month for green scooter the Jacksonville Transit Authority, which is attempting to replace their fleet of old diesel vehicles with 100 all-electric vehicles. With the Biden Administration looking to electrify schools across the nation, GreenPower plans on ramping up production to meet 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. They will be eligible for federal transit grants. We will be following the AV Star as it goes on its demonstration tour the coming months. We will share more details on this exciting EV.
