EV Star
GreenPower Motor Company manufactures a complete line of heavy- and medium-duty electric vehicles, including high-floor and lower-floor models. The EV Star Cab & Chassis is their flagship model, and it can be customized to suit a wide range of applications. The platform's clean sheet design allows for optimal battery pack placement and a lower center of gravity, resulting in better payload to range ratios.
The EV Star REEFERX is designed to be used for mid to last mile refrigerated delivery as well as catering applications. The refrigerated truck's class 4 configuration's one wall structure inside and higher insulation compared to traditional trucks allow for seamless sanitation, better temperature control, and a longer life. The EV Star REEFERX delivers superior cargo capacity and a world-class payload to range ratio that is ideal for zero-emission passenger and cargo transportation.
GreenPower has partnered with Perrone Robotics to up-fit the EV Star with their TONY (To Navigate You) autonomous vehicle system. This will allow fleets to quickly move to autonomous vehicles. The AV Star will also be able to support wireless charging up to 75 kW.
We had the opportunity to test drive the EV9 for several hours on a local freeway and found it easy to drive and comfortable for long distances. The ride is smooth on ruts and bumps, while the EV9 does an excellent job of suppressing wind and road noise on the highway. The acceleration is quite quick and the vehicle has adjustable regenerative brakes that allow "one pedal driving" by simply lifting the accelerator.
The EV9 has a great range and can be fully charged in about three hours at home or using any commercial charger. Drivers can choose between two operating modes including eco mode and sports mode. The eco mode prioritizes the cruise control and torque and the sport mode increases speed and handling. Both modes are fun to drive and offer an experience unlike any other for those who haven't experienced driving an electric vehicle before.
In addition to the EV9, GreenPower has several other electric vehicles, including 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, micro-transit or transit bus, vanpool, or a paratransit vehicle.
GreenPower is already producing about 10 EV Star buses per month for the Jacksonville Transit Authority, which is attempting to replace their fleet of old diesel vehicles with 100 fully electric vehicles. GreenPower will increase production to meet the needs of the Biden Administration who is planning to electrify all school buses in America. green power mobility scooter reviews is the first of its kind to be tested in Altoona and FMVSS-certified, Buy America compliant and ADA certified. This makes them eligible for federal transit grants. Stay tuned for updates as we follow the AV Star on its demonstration tour later this year. We will be sharing more details on this exciting electric vehicle.
