GreenPower's EV 350 is an all-electric 12-meter (40 ft) transit bus incorporating lightweight battery packs providing for a range in excess of 250 kilometers (155 miles) on a single charge. Parts sourced from world-class suppliers like Siemens, ZF, Thermo King, Webasto, and Alcoa are used in the production of each GreenPower EV 350 bus. In a press release issued on March 18, 2014, GreenPower announced that "GreenPower anticipates the arrival of their first North American all-electric transit bus to land on US soil at the end of April 2014.

Phillip Oldridge, GreenPower's CEO, stated, "It has been a long road filled with many obstacles and challenges. Until recently, battery technologies were not advanced enough to support the long routes and demands required of public transit. Our EV 350 incorporates new advanced technologies with outstanding results! We look forward to working with StarPoint USA, Inc. to develop the US market for our all-electric transit bus."
