GreenPower Motor Company produces a full line of high-floor as well as low-floor all-electric medium and heavy-duty vehicles. The EV Star Cab & Chassis is their flagship vehicle, and it is able to be adapted to suit a variety of applications. The design of the platform is based on a simple sheet of paper, which allows for the best placement of the battery pack and a lower center-of-gravity. This leads to better range/payload ratios.
The EV Star REEFERX was designed for mid-to last mile refrigerated deliveries as well as catering applications. The refrigerated trucks in class 4 have a single interior wall structure, and higher insulation than conventional trucks, enable seamless sanitation and better temperature control. They also have a longer lifespan. The EV Star REEFERX provides superior cargo capacity and an industry leading payload to range ratio that is ideal for zero emission passenger transport and goods.
GreenPower has partnered 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 of 75 kW.
We were allowed to test drive the EV9 on an unpaved highway for several hours, and found it easy to drive, and comfortable to drive for long distances. The EV9 can block the sound of traffic and wind driving on the highway. It is smooth on ruts and humps. 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 charged in just three hours or less at home, or by using any commercial charger. Drivers can select between two operating modes including eco mode and sports mode. Eco mode focuses on the cruise control and torque and the sport mode is designed to maximize speed and handling. Both are a lot of fun to drive and provide a unique driving experience for those who have not driven an electric vehicle before.
GreenPower offers several other eVehicles, including a multipurpose all-electric minibus dubbed the EV Star. The EV Star is ADA-compliant and can be used as executive shuttles, electric mobility scooter fastest transit or microtransit vanpools, buses, or paratransit vehicles.
greenpower electric scooters 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 all-green power electric scooter vehicles. With the Biden Administration planning to electrify school buses nationwide, GreenPower plans on ramping up production to meet 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 certified. This makes them eligible for federal transit grants. Check back for updates as we follow the AV Star on its tour of demonstration later in the year. We will provide more details on this exciting EV.
