EV Star is a zero-emission vehicle that offers a lot of customisation.  electric power scooters 's also fully FTA certified and Buy America compliant. It has a class-leading range and ADA wheelchair-friendly features. It also provides cargo delivery configurations.

EV Star

GreenPower Motor Company produces a full suite of high-floor and low-floor all-electric medium and heavy-duty vehicles. Their flagship vehicle is the EV Star Cab & Chassis platform, which is able to accommodate various body designs and upgrades for a variety of applications. The platform's design philosophy of clean sheets allows the best battery pack placement and a lower center of gravity, resulting in better payload to range ratios.

The EV Star REEFERX was designed for mid-to-last mile refrigerated deliveries and catering applications. The refrigerated trucks of class 4 have a single interior wall structure and higher insulation than traditional trucks, enable seamless sanitation and better temperature control. They also have a longer service life. The EV Star REEFERX provides superior cargo capacity and a top payload-to-range ratio for zero-emission passenger and cargo transportation.

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

We had the opportunity to test drive the EV9 for a few hours on a local freeway and found it to be easy to drive and comfortable for long distances. The EV9 can block road noise and wind while driving on the highway. It is smooth on ruts and humps. The acceleration is quite quick, and the car comes with adjustable regenerative braking to enable "one pedal driving" by simply lifting the accelerator.

The EV9 is extremely reliable and can be fully charged in just three hours at home, or using any commercial charger. Drivers can choose between two modes of operation that include eco mode and sports mode. Eco mode focuses on torque and cruise control while the sport mode increases speed and handling. Both modes are enjoyable to drive and provide an experience unlike any other for those who have never driven an electrical vehicle before.

GreenPower provides a variety of other EVs, including a multipurpose all-electric minibus called the EV Star. The EV Star is ADA compliant and can be utilized as an executive shuttle, micro-transit, transit vanpool, bus, or paratransit vehicle.

GreenPower is currently producing around 10 EV Star buses per month for the Jacksonville Transit Authority, which is working to replace their fleet of older diesel vehicles with 100 all-electric vehicles. With the Biden Administration planning to electrify school buses nationwide, GreenPower plans on ramping production to meet the demand. Their EV Star bus is the first of its kind to be tested in Altoona and FMVSS-certified. Buy America compliant and ADA certified. They will be eligible for federal transit grants. Stay tuned when we follow the AV Star on its tour of demonstration later in the year. We will provide more information on this innovative EV!
