GreenPower Motor Company
GreenPower Motor Company Inc. is a Canadian electric bus manufacturer and distributor in North America. The company fabricates multiple zero-emission models, including transit buses, school buses, and double decker buses. GreenPower headquarters are in Vancouver, British Columbia, with a sales office in Rancho Cucamonga, California; an assembly facility in Porterville, California; and a production facility in South Charleston, West Virginia. Its stock is traded on Nasdaq the United States.
Its subsidiaries include Electric Vehicle Logistics Inc., GreenPower Industries Inc., GreenPower Manufacturing WV Inc., GreenPower Motor Company, Inc., Green-Power Private Ltd., Lion Truck Body Incorporated, and San Joaquin Valley Equipment Leasing, Inc.
GreenPower was incorporated in Canada in 2010 to manufacture affordable electric buses and vans.
In 2014, GreenPower launched an EV350 model, a 40-foot (12 m), all-electric transit bus combining electric drive and battery technologies with a lightweight chassis and low-floor body. The EV350 was designed by Xiamen Fengtai Bus & Coach International Co., Ltd in China. It was assembled by Fengtai and imported in July 2014 through the Port of Long Beach. The prototype unit was subsequently used as a demonstration unit for transit agencies in the western United States and Canada.
In 2016, the Greater Victoria Harbour Authority and CVS Tours in Victoria, British Columbia purchased a double-decker EV550 bus from GreenPower for US$1.3 million. It was the first purpose-built double-decker electric bus in North America. The EV550 seats 100 passengers, plus standees, and has a range of over 300 miles (480 km).
In 2016, the company acquired a 9.3-acre (3.8 ha) plot on Hope Drive in Porterville, California, to build a 150,000-square-foot (14,000 m2) manufacturing facility for roughly $10 million. The firm stated it would initially have sixty employees, but project growth to 1,000 workers. In March 2017, the City of Porterville, California, ordered ten GreenPower EV350 buses and charging infrastructure for nine million dollars. With this purchase, Porterville became the first municipality to operate an all-electric and zero-emission transit fleet in California. However, in April 2021, GreenPower had yet to construct its manufacturing facility.
In the fall of 2016. GreenPower released Synapse, the line of all-electric school and shuttle buses. The Synapse has a 30-foot (9.1 m) model that seats 37 passengers and a 36.5-foot (11.1 m) model that seats 49 passengers. The California Air Resources Board approved the Synapse for its Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project. This approval meant purchasers of the Synapse would earn a $95,000 incentive, in addition to other, previously existing incentives. In August 2017, GreenPower sold eleven Synapse buses to six schools in the North Coast Unified Air Quality Management District and South Coast Air Quality Management District in California.
In 2018, GreenPower launched the EV Star minibus in 2018. The EV Star can travel between 150–200 miles (240–320 km) per charge; charging takes eight hours with a J1172 Level 2 charger or ninety minutes with a DC fast charger. Several interior configurations are possible, including one that seats seventeen passengers. The University of California, San Francisco purchased two EV Stars. Its cost ranges from US$190,000 to US$240,000 before federal and state incentives.
