GreenPower delivers first three EV stars to Green Commuter

July 2, 2019
The first all-electric vehicles have been deployed for van pool services in North America.

GreenPower Motor Company Inc. has completed its first delivery of the EV Star, all-electric, zero emission 25-foot bus to Green Commuter, a California-based, all-electric vanpool provider offering van pooling, car sharing, shuttle service and fleet replacement.

The EV Star seats 19 people and it’s customizable with executive seating, wheelchair lifts and high-density seating configurations to suit a range of customer needs and applications, making it ideally suited for van pooling, ride sharing and shuttle services.

Gustavo Occhiuzzo, CEO of Green Commuter commented, “We are excited to take our first delivery of EV Stars from GreenPower and are confident the features and technology of this vehicle will drive efficiencies in our operations. The EV Star offers a combination of range, electric charging flexibility and seating capacity that sets it apart from other electric vehicles on the market and makes it perfectly suited for our needs. We are eager to bring these vehicles into our fleet and are looking forward to receiving another 100 EV Stars from GreenPower!”

With an operational range of up to 150 miles on a single charge, this versatile vehicle can be used for micro-transit services, para-transit, vanpool, shuttle, school, employee transportation, tourist operations or cargo transport. The bus is eligible for a base voucher of $90,000 from the California HVIP program and an additional voucher of $10,000 when the vehicle is operated in a disadvantaged community.
