Bollinger Motors LLC has unveiled production versions of its all-electric B1 SUV and B2 pickup truck.
The Ferndale, Mich.-based startup, which began showing prototype versions of the B1 two years ago, expects to launch production of both boxy models in Ferndale in early 2020. Pricing will be announced later.
The company says it has collected more than 28,000 reservations for the vehicles, both of which are designed for off-road use only.
Both aluminum-bodied trucks share the same powertrain: a 120-kWh battery and two electric motors that produce a combined 614 hp and 668 lb-ft of torque. Bollinger predicts a range of about 200 miles per charge for both all-wheel-drive models.
The four-passenger SUV and pickup weigh 4,800 lbs and 5,000 lbs, respectively. Both models boast 15 inches of ground clearance, 10 inches of wheel travel and a 7,500-lb towing capacity. The B1 and B2 have payload capacities of 5,200 lbs and 5,000 lbs, respectively.
The SUV is 14.3 feet from bumper to bumper. The truck is 3 feet longer, with a 5.7-ft load bed (with tailgate up). The bed can be extended to 8.2 feet by flipping down the rear cab wall and removing the second-row seats.
