GreenPower Delivers First BEAST Produced in West Virginia Manufacturing Facility and Supplies Replace on Order for 37 BEASTs to be Delivered in 2024 to College Districts in West Virginia

South Charleston, West Virginia — GreenPower Motor Firm Inc. (NASDAQ: GP) (TSXV: GPV) (“GreenPower”), a number one producer and distributor of purpose-built, all-electric, zero-emission medium and heavy-duty automobiles serving the cargo and supply market, shuttle and transit area and college bus sector, right this moment delivered the primary Sort D BEAST all-electric, purpose-built, zero-emission faculty bus manufactured on the Firm’s South Charleston, West Virginia manufacturing plant to the Kanawha County (WV) College District.

“Today marks yet another milestone for GreenPower in the all-electric school bus market as the first BEAST manufactured in West Virginia gets delivered,” stated Fraser Atkinson, GreenPower CEO. “Last December the first four Nano BEASTs manufactured at the facility were delivered and this delivery is the next step in the South Charleston plant operating as planned.”

Buy of the BEAST by Kanawha County was completely by way of its personal faculty bus replenishment funds; no federal or state grant cash was used. “The economics of GreenPower all-electric school buses makes it an easy decision to migrate your fleet from diesel to electric,” stated Tom Williams, Superintendent of the Kanawha County College District. “We deployed the first Nano BEAST Access produced in South Charleston and now we are receiving the first BEAST made at the GreenPower facility as well. We are looking forward to getting many more GreenPower BEASTs over the next few months.”

“This first BEAST helped us verify our production process in the plant just like the first Nano BEAST production last year verified that line process,” stated GreenPower’s Vice President of Manufacturing Wendell White. “We can and are now proceeding with a full manufacturing plan for both the BEAST and Nano BEAST at the South Charleston facility that will produce all-electric school buses to complement our California and contract manufacturing to meet the nationwide demand for GreenPower all-electric, purpose-built school buses.”

GreenPower at present has 37 Sort D BEASTs in manufacturing which were ordered by the state of West Virginia. Considerably all of those faculty buses will likely be delivered by the tip of the calendar yr.
