EV Star

GreenPower Motor Company produces a complete line of high-floor and low-floor all-electric heavy-duty and medium-duty vehicles. The EV Star Cab & Chassis is their flagship model, and can be adapted to suit a variety of applications. The platform's clean sheet design approach allows for the optimal placement of battery packs 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 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 service life. The EV Star REEFERX has a higher capacity for cargo, and an industry-leading payload to range for zero-emission freight or passenger transport.

GreenPower has collaborated with Perrone Robotics to up-fit the EV Star with their TONY (To Navigate You) autonomous vehicle system. This will allow fleets to seamlessly transition to autonomous vehicles. The AV Star will also be capable of wireless charging up to 75 kW.

We had the chance to test drive the EV9 for several hours on a local highway and found it to be a breeze to drive and comfortable for long distances. The ride is smooth on bumps and ruts, and the EV9 does an excellent job of reducing wind and road noise on the highway. The car's acceleration is surprisingly quick, and it has adjustable regenerative brakes that allow "one-pedal driving" simply by lifting off the accelerator.

The EV9 has a wide range and can be charged in three hours or less at home, or by using any commercial charger. Drivers can choose between two modes of operation: eco mode and sports mode. The eco mode is a preference for the cruise control and torque while the sport mode maximizes speed and handling. Both are a lot of fun to drive and offer an experience unlike any other for anyone that has never been in an electric vehicle before.

In addition to the EV9, GreenPower has several other e-vehicle offerings including a multi-purpose electric mini bus called the EV Star. The EV Star is ADA-compliant and can be used for executive shuttles, electric power mobility scooter green scooter (new content from Pku) microtransit or transit vanpools, buses, and paratransit vehicles.

GreenPower is already producing around 10 EV Star buses a month for the Jacksonville Transit Authority, which is working to replace their fleet of diesel vehicles with 100 electric power scooters vehicles. GreenPower will increase production to meet the demands 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 tested in Altoona and FMVSS-certified, Buy America compliant and ADA conforming. This makes them eligible for federal transit grants. Check back when we follow the AV Star on its demonstration tour later this year. We'll be sure to share more details on this amazing electric vehicle!
