They also have a longer service life. The EV Star REEFERX offers superior capacity for cargo and a world-class payload-to-range ratio for zero-emission passenger and cargo transportation.
GreenPower partnered with Perrone Robotics in order to equip the EV Star with TONY (To navigate you) autonomous vehicle systems, which will allow fleets to make the transition to autonomous vehicles. The AV Star can also be wirelessly charging up to 75 kW.
We were able to test drive the EV9 on the local highway for Green Scooter a few hours. We found it to be easy to drive and comfortable to drive over long distances. The ride is smooth over ruts and bumps, while the EV9 does an excellent job of suppressing wind and road noise on the highway. The vehicle's acceleration is surprising quick, and it has adjustable regenerative brakes to enable "one-pedal driving" simply by taking off the accelerator.
The EV9 provides a large range and can be charged in three hours or less at home, or by using any commercial charger. Drivers can choose between two operating modes including eco mode and sports mode. Eco mode is a great way to increase torque and cruise control, as well as handling, while sport mode increases speed. Both are a lot of fun to drive and offer an unique experience for anyone who has not driven an electric vehicle before.
In addition to the EV9, GreenPower has several other e-vehicle offerings such as a multi-purpose, all-electric wheel scooter mini bus, called the EV Star. The EV Star is ADA-compliant and can be used as executive shuttles, transit or Green power mobility scooters uk microtransit vanpools, buses, and paratransit vehicles.
GreenPower produces around 10 EV Star buses per month for Jacksonville Transit Authority. The Jacksonville Transit Authority is replacing their older diesel vehicles fleet with 100 electric cars. With the Biden Administration planning to electrify school buses across the country, GreenPower plans on ramping production to meet the demand. Their EV Star bus is the first of its kind to be tested in Altoona and FMVSS-certified. Buy America compliant and ADA certified. This means they will be eligible for federal assistance in transit. Stay tuned when we follow the AV Star on its tour of demonstration later this year. We'll be sure to give more details about this EV that is truly innovative!
