GreenPower receives order for two EV Stars from UC San Francisco

$90,000 voucher to purchase each EV Star

PORTERVILLE, Calif., June 12, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GreenPower Motor Company Inc. (TSX-V:GPV) (OTCQX:GPVRF) (“GreenPower”) announces that it has received an order for two EV Star All-Electric Min–eBuses from the University of California San Francisco (“UC San Francisco”), San Francisco’s second-largest employer.

To meet the University of California (UC) system’s ambitious goal to be carbon neutral by 2025, UC San Francisco must reduce greenhouse gas emissions across all ten campuses, including tackling emissions from the UC owned transportation fleet.

The EV Star is an all–electric, emissions–free, 25-foot bus that seats up to 19 people, with an operational range of 125 – 200 miles on one charge and a lifetime of over 20 years.  The EV Star can also be configured to accommodate wheelchairs or mobility aids.  GreenPower has ten EV Stars well into production, which are expected to be completed this summer.

“We are excited to be helping UC San Francisco achieve their sustainability objectives with the added benefits of a quiet ride and reduced costs. The EV Star is perfectly suited for University and College campus use because of its small size and low purchase price,” said Brendan Riley, President.  “We also have the opportunity for additional sales of EV Stars to UC San Francisco and other Universities in North America later this year.”

This document contains forward-looking statements relating to, among other things, GreenPower’s business and operations and the environment in which it operates, which are based on GreenPower’s operations, estimates, forecasts and projections. Forward-looking statements are not based on historical facts, but rather on current expectations and projections about future events, and are therefore subject to risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from the future results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. These statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as “may”, “should”, “will”, “could”, “intend”, “estimate”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “expect”, “believe” or “continue”, or the negative thereof or similar variations. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict or are beyond GreenPower’s control, such as the regulations and requirements in different jurisdictions. A number of important factors including those set forth in other public filings (filed under the Company’s profile on www.sedar.com) could cause actual outcomes and results to differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements.
