The 25-foot bus seats up to 19 people, with an operational range of 125 to 200 miles on a single charge and a 20-plus year lifetime.
Initial production will focus on EV Stars and then Synapse Type-D school buses.
The EV Star is an all–electric, emissions–free, 25-foot bus that seats up to 19 people, with an operational range of 125 to 200 miles on one charge and a lifetime of over 20 years.
The order includes the 15 buses for inventory and demonstration that are on order with GreenPower.
Along with signing the three-year exclusive agreement, the bus dealer has placed an initial order of 15 buses.
The EV350, recently purchased by Porterville Transit, was driven under its own power from San Joaquin Valley to Newport Beach, Calif.
The buses will replace all of the existing CNG-powered transit buses. The EV350 was designed and built by California-based GreenPower, a leading manufacturer of all-electric buses.
In his new role, Ryne Shetterly will shape green policies, build brand awareness, and help lead the sales and marketing team to propel the electric vehicle market forward.
The contract provides the City of Porterville or other customers, an option to purchase an additional 20 buses with the same terms and conditions as the initial purchase.
