Electric vehicle startup Bollinger Motors has revealed it will move its headquarters to Oak Park, Michigan, while also increasing its workforce.
In a press release, Bollinger says its new facility is more than four times larger than its current one in Ferndale and will serve as the primary base for its operations. It will also allow Bollinger to double its team of 40 employees by the end of 2020 as it pushes forward with its plans to release a handful of all-electric vehicles onto the market.
“It couldn’t have come at a better time,” chief executive Robert Bollinger said in a statement. “We were bursting at the seams with new engineers, putting desks out in the shop at the old building; it was especially difficult to keep everyone more than six feet apart.”

Both the Bollinger B1 and B2 feature two electric motors, one at each axle, which produce a combined 614 hp and 668 lb-ft (906 Nm) of torque. The two models also feature a 120 kWh battery pack that includes a regenerative braking system while also supporting AC and DC fast charging. The two EVs have an EPA-estimated range of 200 miles (322 km) on a charge.
Bollinger has employed a hydro-pneumatic suspension with self-leveling functionality on the B1 and B2. The vehicles also offer high- and low-range driving modes.
Earlier this year, the automaker unveiled their versatile new B2 Chassis Cab pickup. This model uses the world’s first Class 3 electric truck platform and will be ideal for plumbers, electricians and construction workers, among other tradesmen.
