• The 2025 B4 buyers can qualify for more than $100,000 in state and federal incentives on all-new, all-electric Class 4 truck

OAK PARK, Mich., Sept. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Bollinger Motors, Inc. ("Bollinger Motors"), a commercial electric vehicle ("EV") manufacturer, announced  today that the 2025 Bollinger B4 Chassis Cab will have a Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price (MSRP)  of $158,758.

The Bollinger B4 Chassis Cab is an all-new, all-electric Class 4 commercial truck designed from the ground up with extensive fleet and upfitter input. Bollinger's unique chassis design protects the 158-kwh battery pack and components to offer impressive capability and safety in the commercial market. The company commenced serial production of the B4 the week of September 16, and will begin delivering vehicles to customers in October 2024. The all-electric Bollinger B4 Chassis Cab is now available for order, and is available via Bollinger's national dealer network.

The 2025 B4 will be eligible for combined federal and state incentives that could be in excess of $100,000. The base B4 can be enhanced with dealer accessories and several factory options, including an e-PTO unit (which will be available in January) to meet a fleet's specific needs.

"Our team has listened to our customers and created a world-class electric truck to fill an important segment of the Class 4 commercial fleet market," said Jim Connelly, chief revenue officer for Bollinger Motors. "We feel that we are bringing a versatile and valuable truck to market at a competitive price point. When combined with the variety of incentives available to potential customers, we believe the B4 makes the fleet transition to electric a no-brainer."

Earlier this year, Bollinger Motors received IRS approval as a qualified manufacturer for clean vehicle credits under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 ("IRA").  This designation enables the Bollinger B4 chassis cab to qualify for the IRA's new credit for qualified commercial clean vehicles, providing eligible purchasers a tax credit of up to $40,000 per vehicle. In addition, Bollinger Motors was recently CARB certified, providing the pathway to California's Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project  ("HVIP"). 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. Additional available state and local incentives could push the total above $100,000.

The MSRP announcement follows a series of recent news including the start of production of the B4; a 145-vehicle sale to Momentum Group, a 70-vehicle sale to Doering Fleet Management, a 50-vehicle sale to EnviroCharge; dealer and service center agreements from Affinity Truck Center, TEC Equipment, Nacarato Truck Centers, Nuss Truck & Equipment, and LaFontaine Automotive Group; providing full warranty coverage of the B4 chassis cab; receiving the Certificate of Conformity from the Environmental Protection Agency; Our Next Energy in Novi, Mich. to supply battery packs; and Amerit Fleet Solutions as its mobile service provider.
