Bollinger Motors just had the reveal of their all electric all aluminum B1 SUT "Sport Utility Truck."
100 kWh battery pack gets 200 miles of range,does 0-60 4.5 seconds, has adjustable suspension giving 10.5"-20.5" of ground clearance. Full Cab convertible to Half Cab. 2 door or 4 door. Only 2 door shown.
60 kWh base pack gets 120 miles of range. 6100 pounds of payload and 6100 pounds of towing capacity. Bigger pack a little less because heavier battery. Can crawl through almost 5 feet of water, because all electronics are sealed.
Battery packs are liquid cooled. Radiator openings in front fascia and fenders are functional cooling the battery pack.
Base price has not been announced. Expected $50k-$60k base price with ~$25k in options.
EDIT I see now where the frame will be high strength steel and the body will be aluminum a al Ford F-150.

I thought the pics were an early stage prototype but apparently that's how they envision the production version. Has a real zombie apocalypse vehicle look to it. I'm sure it will go over well with the matte black and Hummer crowd. _________________ "Suck it up. Don't be a baby. Do your job." - Kobe Bryant

I think it will go over well with the straight American male crowd.
Have never owned nor will I ever own a matte black vehicle nor a Hummer.

Official Model 3 launch from Tesla tonight. They're going to be streaming it soon, supposedly, but since they always seem to start these hints late, it wouldn't surprise me if there was an hour or two delay.
Im saving up for the Bronco now. But it seems to be at least two years away. If they plan on doing a "Raptor" version I hope it gets released at launch cuz I can't wait any longer lol.

Tonka look, but electric applications to trucks make more sense. There's a possibility of a front and rear bed space as well as the advantage of immediate max torque just past 0rpm. _________________ Resident Car Nut.
