Mullen’s Bollinger Motors achieves CARB certification

Mullen Automotive’s Bollinger Motors has achieved a key commercial EV milestone with its B4 all-electric, Class 4 low cab forward chassis truck, receiving certification from the California Air Resources Board. The CARB certification is a requirement to sell vehicles in the CARB-compliant states of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont and the District of Columbia. All CARB states and locations have adopted vehicle standards Section 177of the Clean Air Act, which requires additional approvals beyond Environmental Protection Agency regulations. CARB certification provides a path for Bollinger Motors’ customers to qualify for additional state incentives, such as California’s HVIP project. When combined with the B4’s $40,000 IRS rebate, HVIP can offer a rebate of up to $60,000, adding up to $100,000 in combined total savings. Bollinger Motors will begin production of the B4 on Sept. 16, 2024, with customer deliveries to begin in October.
