Editor’s Note (2025): Since its debut, the Bollinger B1 has faced production delays, with the company shifting focus to commercial EVs. However, Bollinger has revived plans for the B1 and B2 under new ownership by Mullen Automotive, though no firm production timeline has been announced.
With all the hype around electric vehicles and sustainability, it’s hard to believe the Bollinger B1 is the world’s first all-electric, all-wheel drive, off and on-road sport utility truck — boasting 360-hp and up to 200 miles of range. After years of work and months of teasing, the spectacular sport utility truck has finally been presented. On the outside, it has the classic three-box design, with minimalist styling and flat surfaces, giving it a masculine, utilitarian look. It can easily be set up in a complete or half-cab configuration.
Power-wise, you can choose from a 60 kWh or 100 kWh battery pack for a range of 120 and 200 mile (193 and 322 km), respectively, and a pair of electric motors providing 360 hp (268 kW) of power and 640 Nm of torque on tap, for a 4.5-second sprint to 60 mph (97 km/h). The all-wheel-drive beast can handle 6100 lbs of towing and has a payload capacity of 95 cu. ft of total storage, plus an impressive 15.5” of ground clearance. Now, if the New York-based company will let us test this beast, we’re in business.

A Closer Look Inside the Bollinger B1’s Utilitarian Interior
The Bollinger B1’s interior stays true to its utilitarian roots, prioritizing function over unnecessary frills. The design is stark, with exposed bolts and sharp lines that echo the vehicle’s rugged exterior. Materials like aluminum dominate the cabin, emphasizing durability over luxury, while leather seating adds a subtle nod to refinement.
The dashboard features a straightforward layout, with a digital gauge cluster and a central screen delivering essential information without overwhelming the driver. One standout feature is the full-length pass-through, which runs from the front trunk to the rear, enabling storage of oversized items like lumber or pipes—a nod to the practical needs of its intended audience. While the minimalist approach may not appeal to everyone, it aligns perfectly with Bollinger’s no-nonsense vision for an electric workhorse.
