Bollinger Motors's all-electric, all-wheel-drive B1 Sport Utility Truck and B2 Pickup Truck both have a starting price of $125,000.
Both cars have a range of 200 miles, a top speed of 100 mph, and 614 horsepower.
These two trucks are the startup automaker's first vehicles.
Bollinger Motors, a Michigan-based electric truck startup, has announced the price of its first vehicles.
Both all-electric, all-wheel-drive B1 Sport Utility Truck and B2 Pickup Truck will have an MSRP of $125,000, a hefty price tag compared to Tesla's nearly $85,000 Tesla Model X SUV.
The B1 SUV is the automaker's "baby" that received "every ounce of research and development and time."
"If you could take everything you love about a classic truck and combine it with the most refined essentials of a modern truck, redesign it with the highest quality materials and components available, oh and make it an electric vehicle — you'd have the basics for the Bollinger B1 electric sport utility truck," the automaker said in its website.
Production will start this year, and the first deliveries will happen in 2021. Keep scrolling to learn more about the B1 and its pickup truck counterpart:
