Bollinger Electric Vehicles Commence Deliveries of EO Charging Stations in North Carolina, Partnering with Sourcewell for Supply
Bollinger Motors and EO Charging have joined forces to deliver a comprehensive, cost-effective electrification solution for commercial fleets. This partnership pairs Bollinger Motors' advanced electric Class 4 trucks, such as the Bollinger B4, with EO Charging's EV infrastructure, equipment, and technology.
The collaboration aims to provide end-to-end support for Bollinger's dealers and fleet customers, making the transition to electric vehicles (EVs) seamless and operationally efficient. EO Charging will provide the charging infrastructure, technology, and ongoing support necessary for Bollinger's dealers and fleet customers.
One of the key benefits of this partnership is the potential for substantial cost savings for fleet operators. By combining advanced vehicle technology with turnkey charging solutions and leveraging federal and state incentives, fleet operators can achieve lower total costs of ownership compared to traditional diesel or gasoline vehicles.
The Bollinger B4 is engineered specifically for commercial fleets, featuring a robust, battery-integrated chassis, a 158-kWh battery pack, and a patented Quad Bend frame for optimal safety, durability, and maneuverability in urban settings. The partnership leverages a growing, nationwide dealer and service network, with warranty administration and mobile service solutions, ensuring comprehensive support for fleet operators.
The partnership also offers several benefits to commercial fleet operators, including simplified transition, enhanced operational performance, future-proofing, and scalability. The integrated approach means fleets can acquire both vehicles and the necessary charging infrastructure through a single, streamlined partnership, reducing operational complexity and downtime. The Bollinger B4's design—including a tight turning radius and durable, protected battery—makes it well-suited for demanding urban and commercial applications, improving route flexibility and vehicle longevity.
The solutions are designed to support fleets of varying sizes, with the infrastructure and support model built for growth as adoption increases. As regulations around emissions and vehicle electrification tighten, fleets adopting these solutions will be better positioned for compliance and market leadership.
This partnership positions Bollinger Motors and EO Charging as a leading choice for commercial fleets seeking a reliable, cost-effective pathway to electrification, with a strong emphasis on operational ease, financial incentives, and future readiness.
