GreenPower Motor Company produces a full suite of high-floor and green power electric mobility scooter mobility (nicolaisen-lynge-2.blogbright.net) low-floor all-electric medium and heavy-duty vehicles. The EV Star Cab & Chassis is their most popular vehicle and it can be customized to suit a variety of applications. The platform's clean sheet design approach allows for optimal battery pack placement and a lower center of gravity resulting in higher payload to range 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 interior wall structure and higher insulation compared to traditional trucks enable seamless sanitation, improved temperature control, and a longer life. The EV Star REEFERX offers superior cargo capacity and a payload that is industry-leading to allow for zero emission transport of passengers or goods.
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 quickly change to autonomous vehicles. The AV Star can also be wirelessly charging up to 75 kW.
We had the opportunity to test the EV9 for several hours on a local freeway, and found it easy to drive and comfortable for long distances. The EV9 is able to suppress road noise and wind while on the highway. It rides smoothly over bumps and ruts. The car's acceleration is surprisingly quick, and it features adjustable regenerative brakes to enable "one-pedal driving" simply by lifting off the accelerator.
The EV9 has a wide range and can be recharged within three hours or less 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 torque and cruise control, while the sport mode is designed to maximize speed and handling. Both are fun to drive and offer an experience unlike any other for anyone who has never driven an electric vehicle before.
In addition to the EV9, GreenPower has several other electric vehicles, including a multi-purpose electric power scooters mini bus called the EV Star. The EV Star is ADA compliant and can be utilized as an executive shuttle, transit or micro-transit bus, vanpool, or paratransit vehicle.
GreenPower is already producing around 10 EV Star buses a month for the Jacksonville Transit Authority, which is attempting to replace their fleet of old diesel vehicles with 100 all-electric vehicles. With the Biden Administration planning to electrify school buses nationwide, GreenPower plans on ramping production to meet demand. Their EV Star bus is the first of its kind to be Altoona-tested and FMVSS-certified. Buy America compliant and ADA certified. This will make them eligible for federal transit grants. Keep an eye on us when we follow the AV Star on its demonstration tour later this year. We will share more details on this exciting EV.
