The 10 Scariest Things About Greenpower Mobility
greenpower green mobility scooters (relevant resource site) - All-Energy Medium and Heavy-Duty Vehicles
Greenpower creates and builds, as well as distributes a range of high-floor and low-floor all-electric medium and heavy-duty vehicles. This includes transit buses and school buses, as cargo buses and shuttles.
EV Star is a highly customizable, zero-emission vehicle that's fully FTA certified, Altoona tested and Buy America certified. It offers class-leading range, ADA wheelchair provisions, and cargo delivery configurations.
EV Star
GreenPower Motor Company manufactures a complete line of heavy and medium-duty all-green electric scooter vehicles, including high-floor and lower-floor models. Their flagship vehicle is the EV Star Cab & Chassis platform, which is able to accommodate various bodies and upfits for a variety of applications. The platform's clean sheet design allows for the optimal placement of battery packs and lower center of gravity, resulting in better payload-to-range ratios.
The EV Star REEFERX was designed for mid-to last mile refrigerated deliveries and catering applications. The refrigerated truck's class 4 design's one interior wall structure and higher insulation than traditional trucks enable seamless sanitation, better temperature control and a more extended life. The EV Star REEFERX has a higher capacity for cargo and an industry-leading payload to reach the range of zero-emission freight or passenger transport.
GreenPower has partnered with Perrone Robotics to up-fit the EV Star with their TONY (To Navigate You) autonomous vehicle system, which will allow fleets to quickly transition to autonomous vehicles. The AV Star will also be able to support wireless charging up to 75 kW.
We had the chance to test drive the EV9 for several hours on a local freeway, and found it to be a breeze to drive and comfortable for long distances. The EV9 is able to suppress wind and road noise while driving on the highway. It is smooth on bumps and ruts. The acceleration is surprisingly quick, and the car comes with adjustable regenerative braking that allows "one pedal driving" by simply lifting off of the accelerator.
The EV9 has excellent range and can be fully recharged in just three hours at home, or using any commercial charger. The driver can choose from two operating modes: eco mode and sport mode. Eco mode focuses on the green power mobility, cruise control and handling while sport mode maximizes speed. Both are a lot of fun to drive and provide an experience unlike any other for anyone that has not driven an electric vehicle before.
In addition to the EV9, GreenPower has several other e-vehicles available, such as a multi-purpose, all-electric 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 per month for the Jacksonville Transit Authority, which is working to replace their fleet of diesel vehicles with 100 all-electric vehicles. With the Biden Administration aiming to electrify schools across the nation, 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. They are Buy America compliant, and ADA compliant. This makes them eligible for federal transit grants. Keep an eye on us as we follow the AV Star on its tour of demonstration later this year. We'll be sure to provide more information on this amazing electric vehicle!
