EV Star
GreenPower Motor Company produces a full suite of high-floor and low-floor all-green electric scooter heavy-duty and medium-duty vehicles. The EV Star Cab & Chassis is their flagship model, and it can be customized to suit a variety of applications. The platform's design is based on a simple paper that allows for optimum placement of the battery pack and a lower center of gravity. This leads to better range/payload ratios.
The EV Star REEFERX was developed for mid-to-last mile refrigerated deliveries as well as catering applications. The refrigerated trucks in class 4' one interior wall structure and a higher insulation level than conventional trucks, allows for seamless sanitation and better temperature control. They also have a longer lifespan. The EV Star REEFERX offers superior cargo capacity and a payload that is industry-leading to range for zero-emission goods or passenger transportation.
GreenPower has joined forces with Perrone Robotics to up-fit the EV Star with their TONY (To Navigate You) autonomous vehicle system. This will allow fleets to easily move to autonomous vehicles. The AV Star can also be wirelessly charging up to 75 kW.
We were allowed to test drive the EV9 on the local highway for a few hours, and found it easy to drive and comfortable to drive for long distances. The ride is smooth over ruts and bumps, while the EV9 does a great job of suppressing wind and road noise on the highway. The car's acceleration is surprisingly quick, and it has adjustable regenerative brakes to enable "one-pedal driving" simply by releasing the accelerator.
The EV9 has a great range and can be fully charged in about three hours at home or with any commercial charger. Drivers can choose between two modes of operation that include eco mode and sports mode. Eco mode focuses on the green power mobility reviews as well as cruise control and handling while sport mode focuses on speed. Both modes are fun to drive and offer an unforgettable experience for those who haven't driven an electrical vehicle before.
In addition to the EV9, GreenPower has several other e-vehicle offerings such as a multi-purpose, all-electric minibus called the EV Star. The EV Star is ADA-compliant and can be used for executive shuttles, transit or microtransit vanpools, buses, or paratransit vehicles.
GreenPower produces around 10 EV Star busses a month for the Jacksonville Transit Authority. The Jacksonville Transit Authority is replacing their fleet of diesel vehicles with 100 all-electric cars. greenpower electric scooters will increase production to meet the needs 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 Altoona-tested and FMVSS-certified, Buy America compliant and ADA certified. This means that they are eligible for federal assistance in transit. Check back when we follow the AV Star on its tour of demonstration later in the year. We will give more details about this EV that is truly innovative!
