Overview

Bollinger Motors is an automotive company, which was founded in 2014 in New York City. They engineered an all-electric off-road and on-road sport utility truck. They have a unique vehicle capable of exceptional off-road performance, combined with new utility features.

Bollinger Motors Technology

The Bollinger Motors vehicles are full electric driven, which saves great resources of burning fuels and environmentally friendly because it reduces CO2 emission greatly.

In 2017, Bollinger Motors presented their first prototype of a three-door car called the B1. The market launch of the model was then scheduled for 2019. The company focuses on eliminating many features that don’t work on today’s trucks, like terrible weight distribution, antiquated RWD to 4WD transfer cases, and extremely inefficient gas powertrains.

Bollinger Motor Executive Team

The Bollinger Motor Executive Team hopes to be the leader in electric utility and sport vehicles. Their goal is not only to be the first to market, but also the leader in off-road, pickup and utility vehicles.

Bollinger Motor Business Needs

Production:

Bollinger Motors currently have 2 models of vehicles showcased on its site – B1 (SUV) and B2 (Truck). The company has built actual working prototypes of B1, while there are only renderings of B2 right now. The two companies now plan on finalizing their work on the Bollinger B1 by the end of 2018, on target for a late 2019 start of production. Bollinger announced on Mar. 28, 2018 that it has chosen Optimal, Inc. of Plymouth, MI to “help bring the Bollinger B1 all-electric, all-wheel-drive Sport Utility Truck to production.”

According to sales statistics made available by Bollinger in early 2018, over 12,000 people had pre-ordered the B1 as early as February of this year. The number updated to 19,000 in August. Deliveries are expected in 2020.

Charger Network:

B1 is equipped with a 120 kWh battery pack. With added storage capacity and functionality, B1 achieves 200 mile EPA Range, compared to Tesla’s motor X achieving up to 289 miles of range from a battery pack that has 20 percent less capacity than the B1. Therefore, it is essential for Bollinger Motors to sort out the issues on the charger network before its product deliveries. On Aug 16, 2018, Bollinger tweeted, “@elonmusk Can we use your charging stations?” Back in 2015, Tesla CEO Elon Musk had hinted at the possibility that Tesla would open up its Supercharging stations to other EV manufacturers.
