EV Star
GreenPower Motor Company produces a complete line of high-floor and low-floor all-electric heavy-duty and Green Mobility Scooters medium-duty vehicles. The EV Star Cab & Chassis is their flagship model, and can be adapted to suit a variety of applications. The platform's design philosophy of clean sheets allows for the optimal placement of battery packs and lower center of gravity, which results in better payload-to-range ratios.
The EV Star REEFERX is designed to serve mid-to-last mile refrigerated delivery as well as catering applications. The class 4 refrigerated trucks with a single wall structure inside, and higher insulation than traditional trucks, allows for seamless sanitation and better temperature control. They also have a longer service life. The EV Star REEFERX provides superior cargo capacity and a top payload to range ratio that is ideal for zero-emission goods and passenger transportation.
GreenPower has collaborated with Perrone Robotics to up-fit the EV Star with their TONY (To Navigate You) autonomous vehicle system, which will allow fleets to quickly transition to autonomous vehicles. The AV Star is also capable of wireless charging up to 75 kW.
We were able to test drive the EV9 on a local highway for several hours, and found it to be simple to drive, and comfortable to drive long distances. The EV9 can block wind and road noise while driving on the highway. It glides effortlessly over bumps and ruts. The acceleration is quite quick, and the car comes with adjustable regenerative brakes that allow "one pedal driving" by simply taking off the accelerator.
The EV9 is extremely reliable and can be fully recharged within three hours at home or using any commercial charger. Drivers can choose between two modes of operation: eco mode and sports mode. The eco mode is a preference for torque and cruise control while the sport mode is designed to maximize speed and handling. Both modes are enjoyable to drive and offer an unforgettable experience for those who have never experienced driving an electric vehicle before.
In addition to the EV9, GreenPower has several other electric vehicles, including a multi-purpose all-electric mini bus called the EV Star. The EV Star is ADA-compliant and can be used as executive shuttles, transit or microtransit vanpools, buses, or paratransit vehicles.
greenpower mobility produces about 10 EV Star buses per month for Jacksonville Transit Authority. The Jacksonville Transit Authority is replacing their older diesel vehicles fleet with 100 all-electric cars. GreenPower will increase production to meet the demand of the Biden Administration, which is looking 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 conforming. This makes them eligible for federal transit grants. We will be following the AV Star as it begins its demonstration tour in later this year. We will be sharing more details about this revolutionary electric vehicle.
