The Bollinger B1 is the Electric Truck That Will Change The Game

[@yodaiam1000]

Definitely don't change the front end. The aesthetics are great. I would hate to see it changed into a generic jeep looking car or something else that has been done a 100 times before. It stands out on its own with well balanced proportioning. It isn't often that I look at a design and think that it something special.

[@Jumperlain]

Agreed!

[@doncarlo5]

I want one .... NOW !!

[@VikingBagsYT]

Much respect from everyone here at Vikingbags!

[@CMCNestT]

The Front is handsome and has the Bollinger "B Dial" logo. It will probably start at $60k before $7.5k Federal Incentive. All things considered, it is downright SEXY.

Are you guys offline???Really enjoyed your Friday updates... to bad you stopped!!! Lots of wrangler news and you guys have been my go to source... now I had to find someone else to follow for updates.

We are currently on a hiatus. We may continue weekly videos again in the future. Stay subscribed!!

[@andrewwolfe8742]

So I'm big on power. I'm looking at a one ton to tow a travel trailer in a few years as a travel nurse. I'm looking at diesel now, BUT, if tech advances like I think it will I could see the agent of a electric vehicle to get me by. Only thing that needs to follow in development is a solar recharge option for a value add. This of course is dependent on a charge solution available in non metro areas that is Eco friendly

[@brianzander7042]

This rig is ripe for aftermarket and custom protection and other bolt-ons. Inside and out is a clean slate for customization. Even after paying the inevitable trail tax, body repairs are a simple patch job, cut to fit and paint to match, good as new! Robert Bollinger was aiming for a true utilitarian workhorse and hit the nail on the head. Price wise, if it costs more than $50k, you can expect Bollinger Motors to lose at least half of the potential sales to the Rivian R1T.

[@davidp130]

I dig it. Looks very defenderish. I would pay more than any other new truck out there now though. 45-50k max.

[@michaelt3172]

I like it. Only issue is the suspension. Hope owners can add aftermarket solid axle suspension for real rock crawling

[@brianzander7042]

Would you gut the suspension from an AM General HMMWV and slap solid axles on? You could, but why would you? That is essentially what you would be doing here because the B1 has the same setup, dual A-arms, portals and inboard brakes. The motor location would not allow for the conversion on a B1 and quite frankly, would completely undermine the whole design concept of the vehicle. It would be easier and more cost effective to fabricate a look-alike body on a conventional truck/jeep chassis.

[@jmw1983209]

I like the front end

[@eddiemoto250]

I'll take one. $2

[@skishades]

Their website listed the base model around 60k. If your going to compare it to rock crawling, why not airplanes and ships too... it's designed to be a match for a Jeep in mud, snow and trails... but NOT Rock Crawling... but let's see a Jeep tow 10,000 pounds, or haul a 100 foot board. Considering it was designed by a farmer to combine a UTV and a Jeep/Pick up into one, he did well. I am more disappointed by the fact that an electric Jeep simply doesn't exist... electric is going to happen so why spend 10 years dragging their feet whining about it. Just build it and let the market decide instead of letting new upstarts actually beat you to every good idea. I personally would like a gas electric (not a hybrid!) in pick ups, Jeeps and SUV's... only VW built it as a tiny car that gets 300mpg... I would settle for a 100mpg Jeep!

[@brianzander7042]

No price is currently listed on their website but I can only hope it retails for 60k (or less). Sorry to nitpick but Robert Bollinger is an industrial designer who owns a "farm" but I would not consider him a "farmer". Also, the towing capacity is listed as 7500 lbs (more than double the Wrangler's), total weight of vehicle plus maximum sprung load is 10,000. Details can change in a year so I'm not faulting you but just wanted to update your comment for accuracy.

[@JesseArt]

I want this thing soooo bad. I'd buy it today if it were out and I could afford it.

[@Cybernatural]

By not having all the fancy tech they can probably keep the price down around $40000.

[@williamwoody7607]

No cup holders?

[@SirGregory]

Easy to make your own and bolt it on. I bet there will be plenty of after-market stuff for the city drivers.

[@symmetry08]

I have one major problem and that is not range, it's about too square to be practical when you go rock crawling. Jeep's overall roundness in front makes it excellent to see what's up in corner.

[@henrydreilingproductions]

symmetry08 the defender 90 is just as boxy and outperforms jeeps in off-road in almost every way

[@kyle6364]

It willl probably cost $60-75,000. :( I'll have to wait until the prices go down.

[@kevinjablonski8008]

Nikola side by side was 37000 so probably 40000

[@shadowdance4666]

$55K after rebates before taxes

[@danniepushkin5849]

hahaha frunkly blame!

[@erikrozie]

als we dan toch moeten, dan goed

[@davidlu1]

55 grand

[@lelandeggleston1041]

So is this channel now dead?

[@WANDERER0070]

Didnt these guys heard of aerodynamics and what advantages it would have in range? This box is Fugly

[@michaelt3172]

That is the fucking point. Everyone is tired of these wannabe futuristic airplane cars. Land Rover Defender aesthetic >>>

[@erikhoolihan92]

Frugly

[@jayaneyon9316]

Why would anyone buy a truck from a company that can't even form body panels?

[@zachwatson6411]

we don't need any of that electric shit it's so stupid and ridiculous I hope we never see an electronic vehicle on the trail or on the job site

[@SirGregory]

If you're near retirement age you may not see one on the job site.

[@SirGregory]

I've retired and I can't wait for a suitable electric SUV to buy.
