Bollinger has unveiled an updated design for its electric SUV and pickup trucks with new “production-intent” versions.
The startup is a New York-founded (now Michigan-based) EV company that has been developing a very simple yet versatile electric truck platform.
They first unveiled an all-electric Jeep-like truck, the Bollinger B1, and later a pickup version, the Bollinger B2.
Both vehicles have a simple and rugged design that might appeal to people who actually get things done or even go off-roading with their trucks.
They have been talking about bringing the trucks to production, but they have been delayed several times, and at a starting price of $125,000, they might have a tough time selling them.
Now they are teasing an updated design for both electric vehicles in a new tweet with a strange Kardashian tag:
Here are the new images of both vehicles released by Bollinger today:

Electrek’s Take
Thirsty and unnecessary Kardashian mention aside, I think the new design looks good.
It’s still rugged with things like exposed rivets, but it looks more refined than the previous design.
However, I am more interested in information about the plan to bring the vehicle to production.
They have a promising product, but it’s vaporware until there’s a clear path to production, which I don’t see right now.
