The 10 Most Scariest Things About Greenpower Mobility

Greenpower Mobility - All-Energy Medium and Heavy-Duty Vehicles

Greenpower creates, manufactures and distributes a variety of heavy and medium-duty electric vehicles. This includes transit buses and school buses, as cargo buses as well as shuttles.

EV Star is a highly customizable zero-emission vehicle that's fully FTA certified, Altoona tested and Buy America conforming. It offers class-leading range, ADA wheelchair provisions, and cargo delivery systems.

EV Star

GreenPower Motor Company manufactures a complete range of medium- and heavy-duty all-power electric scooter vehicles, including lower-floor and high-floor models. Their flagship vehicle is the EV Star Cab & Chassis platform, which can be used to accommodate a variety of body designs and upgrades for a variety of applications. The platform's clean sheet design approach allows the best battery pack placement and lower center of gravity, which results in better payload-to-range ratios.

The EV Star REEFERX is designed to serve mid-to-last mile refrigerated delivery and catering applications. The class 4 refrigerated truck's one wall structure inside and higher insulation levels compared to traditional trucks allows for seamless sanitation, better temperature control, and a longer life. The EV Star REEFERX offers superior capacity for cargo and a world-class payload-to-range ratio for zero emission passenger transport and goods.

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 quickly change to autonomous vehicles. The AV Star is also capable of wireless charging up to 75 kW.

We were able to test drive the EV9 on the local highway for a few hours and found it to be easy to drive, and comfortable to drive long distances. The ride is smooth on ruts and bumps, while the EV9 is a master of reducing the sound of traffic and wind on the highway. The acceleration is extremely fast and the car has adjustable regenerative brakes that allow "one pedal driving" by simply taking off the accelerator.

The EV9 has excellent range and can be fully recharged in about three hours at home, or using any commercial charger. The driver has the option of choosing between two operating modes - eco mode and sport mode. Eco mode focuses on the torque, cruise control and handling while sport mode maximizes speed. Both are a lot of fun to drive and offer a unique driving experience for anyone who has not driven an electric vehicle before.

In addition to the EV9, GreenPower has several other green electric scooter vehicles, such as a multi-purpose, all-green power electric scooter mini bus called the EV Star. The EV Star is ADA compliant and can be used as an executive shuttle, micro-transit, transit vanpool, bus, or a paratransit vehicle.

GreenPower produces about 10 EV Star buses per month for 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 who is planning to electrify all school buses in America. Their EV Star buses are the first of their kind to be Altoona tested and FMVSS certified. They are Buy America compliant, and ADA compliant. They will be eligible for federal transit grants. Check back when we follow the AV Star on its demonstration tour later this year. We will provide more details about this revolutionary electric vehicle.
