July 11 2023 - 8:00AM
via IBN -- Mullen Automotive, Inc. (NASDAQ: MULN) (“Mullen” or the
“Company”), an emerging electric vehicle (“EV”) manufacturer, today
announces PowerUP, Mullen’s new mobile EV charging truck that can
deliver level 2 and level 3 DC fast charging capabilities in
scenarios where such power is not available, including roadside
assistance and emergency response where immediate power is required
for recharging electric vehicles or emergency power backup.
PowerUP will be featured on Mullen’s upcoming 2023 "Strikingly
Different" EV Tour, providing level 2 and level 3 DC fast charging
to power Mullen’s EV’s while on the road and is available now for
sale via advance orders. The EV charging truck is based on a Class
5 truck platform, providing up to 150kW of continuous power
generation. The vehicle features two level 3 DC fast chargers (one
120 kW or two 60kW each) and four level 2 chargers (7.2kW each).
Additional vehicle details include:
Mullen PowerUP - Mobile Charging Truck
- Class 5 Bi-Fuel (Gasoline – LP/RLP) cabover chassis
- GVWR – 19,500 lbs
- Wheelbase – 150 inches
- Featuring a 150kW dual fuel (propane/ natural gas) onboard
generator
- One 120kW level 3 DC, 950V fast charger or two 60kW level 3
DC
- Four 7.2kW level 2 chargers
- ~150 Gallons of total onboard propane storage
“On last year’s tour, we witnessed first-hand how difficult it
is to charge vehicles while on the road, especially Level 3 DC fast
charging, which is very limited outside of California. As a
result, we decided we needed to build a solution to support the
2023 tour and the multiple vehicles featured on tour, including DC
fast charging for the Mullen FIVE RS,” said David Michery, CEO and
chairman of Mullen Automotive. “Moving forward, we will be offering
different configurations of the PowerUp mobile charger for
immediate sale via advance order, based off our own commercial EV
truck platforms, making this vehicle available for roadside
assistance, emergency response and management teams. Our PowerUP EV
truck can deliver high voltage power in mobile or emergency
situations or where power is out or not available for fast charging
scenarios.”
The upcoming tour will commence in late summer on Aug. 19, 2023,
and continue through into November 2023, and will cover the East
Coast, Midwest and Northwest before finishing up in California.
Initial announced locations include:
- Austin, TX – Aug 20 and 21 at Circuit of Americas
- New Orleans, LA – Aug 29 and 30 at NOLA Motorsports Park
- Washington D.C and Philadelphia, PA – Sep 18 and 19 at Dover
Motor Speedway
- Las Vegas, NV – Oct 31 and Nov 1 at Las Vegas Motor
Speedway
- Additional tour stops on East Coast, Midwest, Northwest and
West Coast to be announced soon
Like last year, Mullen FIVE reservation holders and investors
will have the priority to secure a spot on the upcoming tour;
however, Mullen anticipates being able to accommodate all
interested participants due to more vehicles and tour stops in
2023. Additional locations and details on how to register can be
accessed here.
A highlight of this year’s tour will be the Mullen FIVE RS,
which is an ultra-high-performance EV that will feature a top speed
of over 200 mph and acceleration from 0-60 mph in just 1.95
seconds. The vehicle will be equipped with 800-volt architecture,
all-wheel drive, a two-speed gearbox, and over 1,100
horsepower. Additional EV vehicles on the tour include the
Mullen FIVE EV Crossover, the Mullen GT Electric Sports Car, the
Mullen ONE Class 1 Commercial EV Cargo Van, the Mullen THREE
Commercial Class 3 Electric Truck, and Bollinger B2 Pick Up.
