Bollinger says it has secured in excess of 10,000
reservations for the all-electric B1 SUV unveiled in July.
At this stage, the startup hasn’t yet shown the B1
in public and instead took the wraps off it at a private event at the Classic Car
Club of Manhattan. Come October 31st however, the Bollinger B1 will be
presented to the public at the SEMA show.
The B1 has been dubbed “the world’s first
all-electric, all-wheel drive, off/on road sport utility truck” and will be
sold with either a 60 kWh or 100 kWh battery pack with ranges varying between
120 and 200 miles. The B1 is then driven by an electric motor with 360 hp and
472 lb-ft of torque, enough to achieve a 0-96 km/h time of 4.5 seconds
and a 204 km/h top speed.
Beyond being distinct from all of its rivals due to
its electric powertrain, the Bollinger is eye-catching because of its boxy
shape and lack of almost any kind of curve.
