VANCOUVER, BC– GPV, GPVRF, (Marketwired – December 08, 2015) – GreenPower Motor Company Inc. (TSX VENTURE: GPV) (OTCQB: GPVRF) (“GreenPower” or the “Company”) announces that, due to significant interest, it has increased the size of its previously announced non-brokered private placement (the “Offering”) of convertible debentures (the “Debentures”) and units (the “Share Units”) from $2,500,000 to $3,000,000.

For further details of the Offering, including details of the terms of the Debentures and the securities issued in connection therewith, please refer to the Company’s press release dated November 5, 2015.
