What's Next In Greenpower Mobility
Greenpower Mobility – All-Energy Medium and Heavy-Duty Vehicles Greenpower designs and builds, as well as distributes a complete range of low-floor and high-floor electric medium and heavy-duty vehicles. This includes school buses, transit buses, buses, cargo buses, and shuttles. EV Star is a highly customizable zero-emission vehicle. It's fully FTA certified, Altoona tested and Buy America compliant. It comes with a world-class range and ADA wheelchair accessibility. It also offers cargo delivery setups. EV Star GreenPower Motor Company manufactures a complete line of heavy- and medium-duty electric vehicles, which include lower-floor and high-floor models. The EV Star Cab & Chassis is their flagship vehicle, and can be adapted to suit a variety of applications. The platform's design philosophy of clean sheets allows the best battery pack placement and a lower center of gravity, which results in higher payload to range ratios. The EV Star REEFERX is designed to meet the needs of mid-to-last mile refrigerated delivery and catering applications. The refrigerated truck's class 4 configuration's one wall structure inside and higher insulation compared to traditional trucks allows for seamless sanitation, improved temperature control and a longer life. The EV Star REEFERX provides superior capacity for cargo and a payload that is industry-leading to allow for zero emission freight or passenger transport. 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 quickly move to autonomous vehicles. The AV Star will also be capable of wireless charging of 75 kW. We were allowed to test drive the EV9 on an unpaved highway for several hours, and found it easy to drive and comfortable to drive over long distances. The EV9 can block the sound of traffic and wind driving along the highway. It rides smoothly over bumps and ruts. power electric scooter is extremely fast and the car has adjustable regenerative braking to enable “one pedal driving” by lifting off of the accelerator. The EV9 provides a large range and can be recharged in three hours or less at home, or by using any commercial charger. Drivers have the option of choosing between two operating modes: eco mode and sports mode. Eco mode focuses on torque and cruise control, as well as handling, while sport mode increases speed. Both modes are enjoyable to drive and offer a unique experience for those who've never driven an electrical vehicle before.
In addition to the EV9, GreenPower has several other electric vehicles, including a multi-purpose all-electric minibus called the EV Star. The EV Star is ADA compliant and can be used as an executive shuttle, micro-transit, transit bus, vanpool, or a paratransit vehicle. GreenPower produces about 10 EV Star buses per month for the Jacksonville Transit Authority. The Jacksonville Transit Authority is replacing their older diesel vehicles fleet with 100 all-electric cars. With the Biden Administration planning to electrify schools across the nation, GreenPower plans on ramping production to meet the demand. Their EV Star bus is the first of its kind to be Altoona-tested and FMVSS-certified, Buy America compliant and ADA conforming. This makes them eligible for federal transit grants. We will be following the AV Star as it makes its demonstration tour in later this year. We will give more details about this amazing electric vehicle!
