EV Star
GreenPower Motor Company produces a full suite of high-floor and low-floor all-electric medium and heavy-duty vehicles. Their flagship vehicle is the EV Star Cab & Chassis platform, which can accommodate various bodies and upfits for Green Mobility Scooter (More Material) a variety of applications. The platform's design is based on a simple paper that allows for optimal placement of the battery and a lower center-of-gravity. This leads to better payload/range ratios.
The EV Star REEFERX is designed to meet the needs of mid to last mile refrigerated delivery and catering applications. The refrigerated truck's class 4 configuration's one wall structure inside and higher insulation levels compared to traditional trucks enable seamless sanitation, better temperature control, and a longer life. The EV Star REEFERX delivers superior cargo capacity and an industry leading payload-to-range ratio for zero-emission goods and passenger transportation.
GreenPower has partnered with Perrone Robotics in order to equip the EV Star with TONY (To navigate you) autonomous vehicle systems, which will enable fleets to easily move to autonomous vehicles. The AV Star will also be able of wireless charging at 75 kW.
We had the chance to test the EV9 for power mobility Scooter several hours on a local freeway and found it easy to drive and comfortable for long distances. The EV9 is able to suppress the sound of traffic and wind on the highway. It is smooth on ruts and humps. The acceleration is extremely quick, and the car comes with adjustable regenerative braking that allows "one pedal driving" by lifting off of the accelerator.
The EV9 offers a great range and can be charged in three hours or less at home, or by using any commercial charger. The driver can select from two operating modes - eco mode and sport mode. Eco mode focuses on the torque and cruise control, as well as handling, while sport mode increases speed. Both modes are fun to drive, and offer a unique experience for those who haven't been in a vehicle with an electrical system 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 for executive shuttles, microtransit and transit buses, vanpools, or paratransit vehicles.
GreenPower produces approximately 10 EV Star buses per month for the Jacksonville Transit Authority. The Jacksonville Transit Authority is replacing their fleet of diesel vehicles with 100 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 bus is the first of its kind to be tested in Altoona and FMVSS-certified. Buy America compliant and ADA compliant. This means that they are eligible for federal assistance in transit. Stay tuned for updates as we follow the AV Star on its tour of demonstration later in the year. We'll be sure to provide more information on this innovative EV!
