GreenPower Motor Company produces a complete line of high-floor and low-floor all-electric heavy-duty and medium-duty vehicles. Their flagship vehicle is the EV Star Cab & Chassis platform, which can accommodate a variety of body designs and upgrades for a variety of applications. The design of the platform is based on a simple paper sheet, which allows for optimum positioning of the battery pack and a lower center-of-gravity. This leads to better range/payload ratios.
The EV Star REEFERX is designed to serve mid-to-last mile refrigerated delivery as well as catering applications. The refrigerated truck's class 4 design's one wall structure inside and higher insulation than traditional trucks allows for seamless sanitation, improved temperature control and a longer life. The EV Star REEFERX provides superior cargo capacity and a world-class payload to range ratio for zero emission passenger transport and goods.
GreenPower 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 transition to autonomous vehicles. The AV Star is also capable of wireless charging up to 75 kW.
We were allowed to test drive the EV9 on an unpaved highway for several hours, and found it to be simple to drive, and comfortable to drive for long distances. The ride is smooth on ruts and bumps, while the EV9 is a master of reducing the sound of traffic and wind on the highway. The car's acceleration is surprisingly quick, and it has adjustable regenerative brakes that allow "one-pedal driving" simply by releasing the accelerator.
The EV9 offers a great range and can be recharged 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 cruise control and torque and the sport mode increases speed and handling. Both are a lot of fun to drive and provide an experience unlike any other for anyone who has not driven an electric vehicle before.
greenpower mobility offers several other eVehicles that include a multi-purpose all-electric wheel scooter minibus called the EV Star. The EV Star is ADA compliant and can be utilized as an executive shuttle, micro-transit, transit bus, vanpool, or a paratransit vehicle.
GreenPower produces about 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-power electric scooter 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 buses are the first of their kind to be Altoona tested and FMVSS-certified, Buy America compliant, and ADA compliant. They will be eligible for federal transit grants. Stay tuned as we follow the AV Star on its tour of demonstration later this year. We will share more details about this revolutionary EV.
