GreenPower Motor Company manufactures a complete line of medium- and heavy-duty all-electric vehicles, including high-floor and lower-floor models. Their flagship vehicle is the EV Star Cab & Chassis platform, which can be used to accommodate various bodies and upfits for a variety of applications. The platform's design philosophy of clean sheets allows for the optimal placement of battery packs and a lower center of gravity, resulting in better payload to range ratios.
The EV Star REEFERX was designed for mid-to last mile refrigerated deliveries as well as catering applications. The refrigerated trucks of class 4 with a single wall structure inside and a higher insulation level than conventional trucks, enable 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 allow for zero emission transport of passengers or goods.
GreenPower has partnered with Perrone Robotics in order to equip the EV Star with TONY (To navigate you) autonomous vehicle systems. This will enable fleets to easily make the transition to autonomous vehicles. The AV Star can also be wirelessly charging up to 75 kW.
We had the opportunity to test the EV9 for several hours on a local highway and found it to be easy to drive and comfortable for green power scooter reviews power green mobility scooters scooter reviews (Check This Out) long distances. The EV9 can be used to block wind and road noise while on the highway. It glides effortlessly over ruts and humps. The car's acceleration is surprisingly fast, and it comes with adjustable regenerative brakes that permit "one-pedal driving" simply by lifting off the accelerator.
The EV9 has excellent range and can be fully recharged in about three hours at home or using any commercial charger. Drivers can select between two modes of operation: eco mode and sports mode. Eco mode prioritizes the torque and cruise control, as well as handling while sport mode focuses on speed. Both modes are fun to drive and provide an experience unlike any other for those who have never experienced driving an electric vehicle before.
GreenPower offers a variety of other electric vehicles, including a multipurpose all-electric minibus called the EV Star. The EV Star is ADA-compliant and can be used as executive shuttles, microtransit or transit vanpools, buses, or paratransit vehicles.
GreenPower is currently producing around 10 EV Star buses per month for the Jacksonville Transit Authority, which is attempting to replace their fleet of diesel vehicles with 100 all-electric vehicles. With the Biden Administration aiming to electrify school buses across the country, 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 compliant. They will be eligible for federal transit grants. Check back for updates as we follow the AV Star on its demonstration tour later in the year. We will share more details about this revolutionary electric vehicle.
