Mullen Class 1 EV Cargo Van Now Certified for Sale in all 15 CARB States and District of Columbia by California Air Resources Board
December 20 2023 - 9:00AM
via IBN – Mullen Automotive, Inc. (NASDAQ: MULN)
(“Mullen” or the “Company”), an emerging electric vehicle (“EV”)
manufacturer, today announces the achievement of a
key commercial EV milestone with its all-electric Class 1
cargo van. The Mullen ONE received certification from
the California Air Resources Board (“CARB”) as a
zero-emission vehicle in the state of California. The
certification is awarded to vehicle manufacturers who meet specific
emissions standards in compliance with CARB regulations. To date, a
total of 15 states and the District of Columbia follow CARB
regulations.
The Mullen ONE previously received a certificate of
conformity from the Environmental Protection Agency on Nov. 2,
2023, permitting sales in the majority of U.S.
states. California as well as 14 other states and
District of Columbia have adopted vehicle standards
under Section 177 of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. §7507),
which requires additional approvals
beyond EPA regulations. Having received credentials from
CARB and the EPA, Mullen can now sell the Mullen ONE in
every state throughout the U.S.
Additionally, the certification gives the Mullen ONE eligibility
for critical state EV incentive programs. The CARB certification
takes on even more significance with CARB’s recent Advanced Clean
Truck regulation, which will require that all local delivery and
government fleets must be zero emissions by 2036. The Mullen ONE
can now be eligible for cash incentive programs which vary by each
eligible CARB compliant state.
“The CARB certification is an important milestone for Mullen as
sales in the CARB compliant states represents over two thirds of
all EVs sold in the U.S.,” said David Michery, CEO and chairman of
Mullen Automotive. “As a next step, we are working to ensure the
Mullen ONE is also part of all eligible state incentive
programs to further support the sale and adoption of the Mullen
ONE across the U.S.”
