Summary of the Announcement
Mullen Automotive has marked a significant milestone by making its first commercial EV sale in Massachusetts through Eco Auto, a new dealership partner. The initial sale is to a local company involved in custom home building, renovations, property management, and painting services.
Earlier this month, Mullen introduced Eco Auto, headquartered in Tewksbury, Massachusetts, as a dealership focused on making EVs accessible nationwide. Eco Auto provides an extensive electric vehicle experience, featuring affordable EVs, hybrids, advanced charging stations, and expert services.
Leadership Comments
Al Salas, president of Eco Auto, expressed excitement about the partnership, stating, “Eco Auto is excited to launch our partnership with Mullen. We believe Mullen EVs help lower the barrier to entry to commercial electrification.”
David Michery, CEO and chairman of Mullen Automotive, shared similar sentiments: “We are thrilled to announce the first Mullen Commercial EV sale in Massachusetts with our valued partner, Eco Auto. We are confident that our commercial EVs will be a game-changer for businesses looking to electrify in Massachusetts, offering them a reliable, efficient, and environmentally friendly transportation solution.”
Vehicle Lineup and Compliance
Mullen’s commercial EV lineup includes the Mullen ONE, a Class 1 EV cargo van, and the Mullen THREE, a Class 3 EV cab chassis truck. Both vehicles are designed for urban last-mile delivery and comply with U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, EPA, and CARB certifications.
Earlier this month, the Mullen THREE qualified for a $15,000 incentive through Massachusetts’ MOR-EV program. Massachusetts, as a CARB-approved state, offers similar incentives to California’s Hybrid and Zero-Emissions Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project (HVIP), which approved the Mullen THREE for a $45,000 rebate voucher in April.
