EV Star
GreenPower Motor Company manufactures a complete line of heavy- and medium-duty electric vehicles, which include high-floor and lower-floor models. The EV Star Cab & Chassis is their flagship vehicle, and can be adapted 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, which results in better payload to range ratios.
The EV Star REEFERX was designed for mid-to last mile refrigerated deliveries as well as catering applications. The refrigerated truck's class 4 design's one interior wall structure and higher insulation compared to traditional trucks allows for seamless sanitation, improved temperature control and a longer life. The EV Star REEFERX offers superior capacity for cargo and a top payload to range ratio for zero-emission passenger and cargo transportation.
GreenPower has joined forces with Perrone Robotics to up-fit the EV Star with their TONY (To Navigate You) autonomous vehicle system, which will allow fleets to seamlessly transition to autonomous vehicles. The AV Star can also be wirelessly charging up to 75 kW.
We had the chance 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 and smooth over bumps and ruts, while the EV9 is a master of reducing wind and road noise on the highway. The acceleration is extremely quick and the vehicle has adjustable regenerative braking that allows "one pedal driving" by lifting the accelerator.
The EV9 provides a large range and can be recharged in just three hours or less at home, or using any commercial charger. The driver can select from two operating modes - eco mode and sport mode. The eco mode prioritizes the torque and cruise control and the sport mode maximizes speed and handling. Both modes are enjoyable to drive and offer a unique experience for those who have 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 dubbed the EV Star. The EV Star is ADA-compliant and can be used for executive shuttles, microtransit or transit vanpools, buses, or paratransit vehicles.
more resources is already producing around 10 EV Star buses per month for the Jacksonville Transit Authority, which is attempting to replace their fleet of old diesel vehicles with 100 electric 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 Altoona-tested and FMVSS-certified, Buy America compliant and ADA compliant. They will be eligible for federal transit grants. Keep an eye on us for updates as we follow the AV Star on its demonstration tour later this year. We will be sharing more details about this revolutionary electric vehicle.
