Over a dozen brand-new Class 4 electric trucks will be sold at potentially bargain prices in less than two weeks. The vehicles are part of a big online auction on May 13, which will try to find buyers for the remnants of Bollinger Motors, a bankrupt American startup that manufactured electric trucks. All of the company’s assets are up for grabs under court order, after suppliers sued over unpaid bills. The forced liquidation follows complaints from several companies, including Dana, Thyssenkrupp, and Wurth Electronics, according to Automotive News. Some of the B4 electric trucks that will be auctioned on May 13. Photo by: InsideEVs In total, 427 lots are being auctioned, starting from torque wrenches and going all the way to big-money items like a DC fast charger, a high-voltage battery tester, and no fewer than 20 B4 electric trucks with almost zero miles on the clock. The B4 Class 4 cab-forward truck was Bollinger Motors’ last hurrah before going under, and 17 of them are going under the hammer as complete chassis trucks. The remaining three units were used by Bollinger for testing purposes, and, judging from the auction photos, have some parts missing. Bidding starts from just $1 for everything, but bear in mind that even if you get a screaming deal on something, you’ll have to pay 20% as a Buyer’s premium and an additional 6% in sales tax. * * * Tell us what you think! View Comments * * * All this being said, when the company was still up and running, a new B4 truck would set you back roughly $160,000, so this auction is a good place to hunt for a bargain. However, keep in mind that the company isn’t around anymore to fix the trucks if anything goes wrong. The 2025 Bollinger B4 medium-duty truck is powered by a 158-kilowatt-hour lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery pack rated at 800 volts. The pack was manufactured by U.S.-based Our Next Energy (ONE) and was fitted between Bollinger’s proprietary 40-inch-wide frame made under contract by Metalsa. With a full battery and a 50% load, the company advertised a driving range of 185 miles, with a Dana-made 323-horsepower rear drive unit providing motivation. Speaking of load, the B4 has a gross vehicle weight rating of 15,500 pounds and a 7,325-pound payload. Charging the battery from a 19.2-kilowatt AC source takes about nine hours, and DC fast charging at up to 110 kW is also doable.
