EV Star
GreenPower Motor Company produces a full suite of high-floor and low-floor all-electric medium and heavy-duty vehicles. The EV Star Cab & Chassis is their flagship vehicle, and can be adapted to meet a variety of applications. The design of the platform is based on a simple paper sheet, which allows for the best placement of the battery pack and a lower center-of-gravity. This results in better range/payload ratios.
The EV Star REEFERX is designed to be used for mid to last mile refrigerated delivery as well as catering applications. The class 4 refrigerated truck's one wall structure inside and higher insulation compared to traditional trucks allow for seamless sanitation, improved temperature control and a longer life. The EV Star REEFERX delivers superior cargo capacity and an industry leading payload-to-range ratio for zero emission passenger transport and goods.
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 seamlessly change 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 a local highway for several hours. We found it easy to drive and comfortable to drive long distances. The EV9 is able to suppress road noise and wind while driving on the highway. It rides smoothly over ruts and humps. The acceleration is extremely fast and the car has adjustable regenerative braking to enable "one pedal driving" by simply taking off the accelerator.
The EV9 has excellent range and can be fully recharged within three hours at home or with any commercial charger. Drivers can choose between two modes of operation including eco mode and sports mode. green mobility scooter and cruise control, as well as handling while sport mode focuses on speed. Both modes are enjoyable to drive and provide an unforgettable experience for those who've never been in a vehicle with an electrical system before.
GreenPower provides a variety of other EVs that include a multi-purpose all-electric minibus 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 a paratransit vehicle.
GreenPower produces approximately 10 EV Star busses a month for the Jacksonville Transit Authority. The Jacksonville Transit Authority is replacing their older diesel vehicles fleet with 100 electric cars. GreenPower will increase production to meet the needs of the Biden Administration, which is looking to electrify all school buses in America. Their EV Star bus is the first of its kind to be Altoona-tested and FMVSS-certified, Buy America compliant and ADA compliant. This makes them eligible for federal transit grants. Keep an eye on us for updates as we follow the AV Star on its tour of demonstration later this year. We will be sharing more details about this revolutionary electric vehicle.
