Key findings from the Bollinger B1 and B2 electric vehicles review:- The production-ready Bollinger B1 and B2 were reviewed.
- The B1 and B2 have similar specs, with B1 having a wheel base of 118.8” and the B2 139”.
- The vehicles produce 614 Horsepower with 668 ft-lb torque, accelerate from 0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds and reach a top speed of 100 mph.
- Both Vehicles have a 52-degree Approach angle, a 15-inch ground clearance, and the B1 has a payload capacity of 5201 lbs and the B2 5001 lbs.
- The vehicles have a 7500 lb towing capacity.
- These Bollinger models will be hand-assembled.
- Pass-through for long materials that runs from front to rear, is one of the most unique features.
- The front of the vehicle contains a front-truck "frunk", with tons of storage on this vehicle, all of which is fully lockable.
- The interior switches are bat toggle style to maintain the simplistic design.

- The suspension has 10 inches of travel and a hydro-pneumatic system.
- The plan is to test to J2807 specs.
- There are front and rear electronic locking differentials and the front and rear sway bars are hydraulically disconnected.
- There will be options to program the torque readings.
- Pricing and availability announcements are expected later this year.
- The goal is to manufacture the vehicle in the USA, and eventually sell in the EU and Australia.
- All off-road engineering design was done by Carl and CJ, who know the off-road world.
- Simplicity was a main principle of this vehicle, even though the engineering is very complicated.
- They just wanted to build for the farm, easy to use in snow and mud.
