EV Star
GreenPower Motor Company manufactures a complete line of medium- and heavy-duty all-electric vehicles, including high-floor and lower-floor models. The EV Star Cab & Chassis is their flagship vehicle, and can be adapted to suit a variety of applications. The platform's design is based on a simple sheet of paper, which 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 be used for mid-to-last mile refrigerated delivery and catering applications. The refrigerated trucks in class 4 with a single wall structure inside, and higher insulation than conventional trucks, allow for seamless sanitation and better temperature control. They also have a longer life span. The EV Star REEFERX provides superior cargo capacity and an industry leading payload to range ratio for zero emission passenger transport and goods.
greenpower mobility 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 move to autonomous vehicles. The AV Star will also be able of wireless charging at 75 kW.
We had the opportunity to test the EV9 for a few 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 green power power mobility scooter scooter; Humanlove.Stream, wind driving along the highway. It rides smoothly over 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 is extremely reliable and can be fully charged in just three hours at home, or using any commercial charger. The driver can choose from two operating modes - eco mode and sport mode. The eco mode prioritizes the cruise control and torque, while the sport mode maximizes speed and handling. Both are fun to drive and provide an experience unlike any other for anyone who has never been in an electric vehicle before.
In addition to the EV9, GreenPower has several other electric vehicles, such as a multi-purpose, all-electric mini bus, called the EV Star. The EV Star is ADA-compliant and can be used as executive shuttles, microtransit and transit buses, vanpools, or paratransit vehicles.
GreenPower is currently producing around 10 EV Star buses per month for the Jacksonville Transit Authority, which is working to replace their fleet of older diesel vehicles with 100 fully electric vehicles. GreenPower will increase production to meet the demands of the Biden Administration which wants 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 means they will be eligible for federal transit assistance grants. Check back as we follow the AV Star on its demonstration tour later in the year. We will provide more details about this revolutionary EV.
