LOS ANGELES, Calif. – GreenPower Motor Company Inc.

“GreenPower is pleased to welcome McCandless Truck Center to our network of commercial EV truck dealers,” said Claus Tritt, GreenPower’s Vice President of Medium-Duty and Commercial Vehicle Sales. “Through McCandless, GreenPower is well positioned to meet the needs of fleet owners in the Rocky Mountains and Southwest looking to convert their fleets to battery electric. We have a well-established inventory of EV Star Cab and Chassis and are prepared to upfit those vehicles through Lion Truck Body in order to deliver a product to the customer within 60 to 90 days rather than six to nine months that customers face elsewhere.”
McCandless will sell the GreenPower line of EV Star commercial products through its location in Aurora, Colorado and North Las Vegas, Nevada. “In addition to its sales locations, McCandless enhances the service and parts network for our commercial vehicles,” Tritt continued, noting that McCandless has service and parts centers in Colorado Springs, Grand Junction, Henderson and Pueblo, Colorado and Cheyenne, Wyoming.

GreenPower also provides that same approach allowing the customer to work with one vendor, one point of contact, one place for sales and after-market service. When we partner with someone, we want to partner with a proven provider that we can trust to meet our customer needs. GreenPower is that partner in the all-electric, purpose-built commercial space.”
McCandless can offer the full line of EV Star commercial vehicle products including the EV Star Cab and Chassis, EV Star Passenger Van, EV Star Mobility Plus, EV Star Cargo Van and Refrigerated Cargo Van, EV Star Cargo Plus and Refrigerated Box Truck, EV Star Stakebed Truck and a wide array of EV Star specialty products.
