# Bollinger Motors is dead again –probably for good this time

When Bollinger Motors closed last Friday, there were some who still hoped that better days lay ahead for the electric vehicle startup –but recently revealed internal emails tell a grim story, and it looks like this is really the end.

Electric truck startup Bollinger Motors seemed to be circling the drain earlier this summer, but a fresh investment from Mullen Automotive and a new face at the helm seemed to breathe new life into the medium-duty EV startup.

That fresh investment from Mullen settled the company’s debt with its namesake, Robert Bollinger, and meant that Mullen had formally acquired an additional 21% of Bollinger Motors, Inc., bringing its total ownership to 95%. That deal had followed an initial, $148 million cash and stock investment from Mullen in 2022, along with promises to revive the tough-looking B1 and B2 concept trucks.

The internal emails reviewed by the _Detroit Free Press_ last week were reportedly sent by Bollinger’s Human Resources Director, Helen Watson, after 59 claims of unpaid wages were revealed to be pending with the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity. The last email, in particular, seemed to be the final nail in the coffin.
