Tesla’s Cybertruck has attracted plenty of attention, but another electric pickup is expected to debut this year. That’s the Bollinger B2. The truck carries a hefty price tag, but its safety features are lacking. Does that make the Bollinger B2 dangerous? Here’s what we know about this upcoming EV. The Bollinger B2 at a glance …
Bollinger has revealed its “production-intent” B1 and B2 pickup and SUV. These are what you might call pre-production and will indicate basically what will be produced. And what we have been shown is different from the early versions we’ve seen for over a year. That is not necessarily a bad thing, but we did think …
Pickup trucks aren’t the only commercial vehicles going electric. Several delivery and cargo van manufacturers are also starting to ditch combustion for battery packs. Rivian is developing one for Amazon, and GM is working on an EV version of the beloved Express and Savanna. And now, rival electric SUV and pickup company Bollinger might be …
Yet another company has joined in the electric pickup truck segment. SAIC joins the likes of Bollinger, Tesla, Rivian, Nikola, and GMC in offering its own spin on battery-powered pickups. Normally, more competition is a good thing, especially for consumers. However, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has created a lot of uncertainty for the automotive world …
If you knew the difference in the price of similar trucks was $91,000 would you still be interested in the more expensive one? We didn’t think so. But that’s what Bollinger wants you to choose. It will manufacture a Class 3 version of its B2 Chassis Cab. The price you would have to pay is …

ECD Automotive Design restores and modifies Land Rover Defender SUVs. They take Land Rover Defenders and rebuild and modernize them from the ground up with better than new components. Their newest build combines the Land Rover Defender body with a Tesla all-electric powertrain. But, how does it compare with the soon-coming Bollinger electric truck? A little history ECD Automotive Design built its …
As EV maker Bollinger’s B1 SUV and B2 truck near their production dates, they stand to enter a crowded space. There’s the Fisker Ocean crossover, Nikola’s hydrogen-and-battery-powered Badger, and the GMC Hummer electric pickup. And, of course, there’s the Tesla Cybertruck and Rivian’s R1S and R1T. However, it appears that Bollinger is aware of the …
Because of how difficult it can be to find an EV charger, and long recharge times, many EV owners install home chargers. Recharging at home is also cheaper than charging at, say, McDonald’s, and more convenient. Park, plug it in and go to bed. But with how big modern battery packs can be, and how …

Some rumors claimed Hummer would be brought back as a high-end off-road truck and SUV brand. Logical, given the brand’s roots, and the growing value …
Electrified pickup trucks could be the hottest segment with nothing to show for it. There aren’t any manufactured, yet. And the one everyone is talking about won’t be available until 2021.

Although the Bollinger B2 electric truck can sometimes get lost in the Tesla-Rivian rivalry, it certainly looks like a serious off-roader. And its specs appear to back it up. But being priced higher than the Cybertruck or R1T, the B2 and B1 may have seemed like luxury toys. And even with the cheapest Cybertruck’s production …
The Tesla Cybertruck has kicked off a feeding frenzy of manufacturers planning EV pickup trucks over the next two years. Some have never even existed, nor have they produced a single product. With this much interest and activity, there must be forecasts for seeing sales in the millions. If you thought that, you would be …
Bollinger Motors sometimes gets lost in the EV truck shuffle. The Michigan-based manufacturer recently took the wraps off its B1 electric SUV and B2 electric truck. With an approach and styling distinct from Rivian, Tesla, or Ford, it was difficult to gauge how Bollinger compared to the rest. Today, however, Bollinger revealed their electric truck’s …
Bollinger Motors, the hope-to-be makers of the all-aluminum, boxy electric pickup trucks and SUVs revealed its four-door versions and better specs than previously advertised.
