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 vehicle, and can be adapted to suit a variety of applications. The design of the platform is based on a simple sheet of paper, which allows for optimum placement of the battery and a lower center of gravity. This results in higher range/payload ratios.
The EV Star REEFERX was designed for mid-to last mile refrigerated deliveries and catering applications. The refrigerated truck's class 4 design's one wall structure inside and higher insulation than traditional trucks enable seamless sanitation, improved temperature control and a longer life. The EV Star REEFERX has a higher capacity for cargo, and an industry-leading payload to reach the range of zero-emission goods or passenger transportation.

We had the opportunity to test the EV9 for a few hours on a local freeway and found it easy to drive and comfortable for long distances. The EV9 is able to suppress the sound of traffic and wind driving along the highway. It rides smoothly over ruts and humps. The acceleration is extremely quick and the vehicle has adjustable regenerative braking that allows "one pedal driving" by simply taking off the accelerator.
The EV9 offers a great range and can be recharged within three hours or less at home, or by using any commercial charger. power electric scooter can choose from two operating modes - eco mode and sport mode. Eco mode prioritizes the power and cruise control, as well as handling, while sport mode increases speed. Both modes are fun to drive and offer an unforgettable experience for those who have never experienced driving 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, transit or microtransit vanpools, buses, or paratransit vehicles.
GreenPower produces around 10 EV Star buses per month for 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 school buses across the country, GreenPower plans on ramping production to meet demand. Their EV Star bus is the first of its kind to be tested by Altoona and FMVSS-certified, Buy America compliant and ADA conforming. This means they'll be eligible for federal assistance in transit. Check back as we follow the AV Star on its demonstration tour later this year. We will share more details on this exciting EV.
