Positive
  • Expansion of retail and service network with 20 new dealership locations
  • Deliveries of Bollinger B4 Chassis Cab scheduled to begin in October 2024
  • Received Certificate of Conformity from the Environmental Protection Agency
  • Secured multiple vehicle sales: 145 to Momentum Groups, 50 to EnviroCharge, 5 to Spencer Manufacturing
Negative
  • None.

The expansion of Bollinger Motors' dealer network through TEC Equipment marks a strategic move to strengthen its presence in the Western U.S. This partnership potentially broadens Bollinger's market reach, particularly in key EV-friendly states like California, Oregon and Washington. The addition of 20 dealerships significantly enhances Bollinger's sales and service capabilities, which could accelerate adoption of their B4 Chassis Cab.

However, investors should note that Bollinger is still in its pre-revenue phase, with deliveries expected to begin in October 2024. The company's recent milestones, including EPA certification and several vehicle sales agreements, indicate progress towards commercialization. Yet, the EV commercial vehicle market is increasingly competitive, with established players like Ford and newer entrants like Rivian vying for market share. Bollinger's success will hinge on timely delivery, product performance and ability to scale operations efficiently.

Bollinger's B4 Chassis Cab, designed specifically for commercial use, addresses a growing demand for electric solutions in the fleet sector. The 158 kWh battery pack suggests a competitive range, important for commercial adoption. The emphasis on safety and upfitter-friendly design could be key differentiators in the market.

The partnership with TEC Equipment is particularly noteworthy. As an established dealer with expertise in commercial vehicles, TEC brings valuable industry knowledge and customer relationships. This could help Bollinger navigate the complexities of fleet sales and service. Moreover, TEC's ZEV consulting services align well with Bollinger's product, potentially facilitating smoother transitions for fleet operators new to EVs.

While promising, Bollinger faces challenges in scaling production and competing with larger, better-funded rivals. The success of their initial deliveries and customer satisfaction will be critical indicators to watch.
