EV Star
GreenPower Motor Company manufactures a complete line of medium- and heavy-duty electric vehicles, including models with lower and high floors. Their flagship vehicle is the EV Star Cab & Chassis platform, which is able to accommodate many different upfits and bodies for multiple applications. The platform's clean sheet design approach allows for optimal battery pack placement and a lower center of gravity, which results in better payload-to-range ratios.
The EV Star REEFERX was developed for mid-to-last mile refrigerated deliveries and green Power Scooters catering applications. The refrigerated trucks of class 4' one interior wall structure and higher insulation than traditional trucks, allows for seamless sanitation and better temperature control. They also have a longer life span. The EV Star REEFERX offers superior cargo capacity, and an industry-leading payload to reach the range of zero-emission transport of passengers or goods.
GreenPower joined forces with Perrone Robotics in order to equip the EV Star with TONY (To navigate you) autonomous vehicle systems. This will allow fleets to transition to autonomous vehicles. The AV Star will also be able to support wireless charging at 75 kW.
We had the chance to test drive the EV9 for a few hours on a local highway and found it easy to drive and comfortable for long distances. The EV9 can block wind and road noise while driving along the highway. It is smooth on ruts and humps. The vehicle's acceleration is surprising quick, and it features adjustable regenerative brakes that permit "one-pedal driving" simply by taking off 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. Drivers can choose between two modes of operation including eco mode and sports mode. Eco mode is a great way to increase torque and cruise control, as well as handling, while sport mode increases speed. Both are fun to drive and offer an unique experience for those who have never driven an electric vehicle before.
In addition to the EV9, GreenPower has several other e-vehicle offerings including 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, transit bus, vanpool or paratransit vehicle.
GreenPower is already producing about 10 EV Star buses a month for the Jacksonville Transit Authority, which is working to replace their fleet of older diesel vehicles with 100 all-electric power scooters vehicles. GreenPower will increase production to meet the demands 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 will make them eligible for federal transit grants. Keep an eye on us for updates as we follow the AV Star on its demonstration tour later in the year. We will share more details on this exciting electric vehicle.
