Another EV Maker Bites the Dust

 Never even heard of this bunch.

 

...Bollinger Motors — the Michigan EV startup once hyped for its boxy electric truck designs — has shut down operations, according to internal emails obtained by the Detroit Free Press.

The company's human resources director told employees that November 21 was Bollinger's final day in business....

...Bollinger burst onto the scene in the late 2010s with its retro-styled, battery-powered B1 SUV and B2 truck, both priced over $120,000. 

But neither ever made it to production. ...

It joins a lengthening list of losers:

 ...Several car companies that made bets on EV pickups — including Lordstown Motors, Fisker Inc, and Nikola Trucks — have all collapsed before their consumer pickups hit US roads. 

Meanwhile, Tesla's Cybertruck hasn't met lofty sales expectations, Chevy has had to slow Silverado EV production, and Ford is considering axing the F-150 Lightning. ...

Don't bet that FoMoCo will re-energize the Lightning, either.
