Bollinger, EO Charging partner on fleet electrification

Electric truck maker Bollinger Motors announced a strategic partnership with EO Charging, a global electric vehicle (EV) charging solution provider for depot-based fleets. The partnership is intended to provide comprehensive electrification solutions for Bollinger’s commercial fleet customers.

Through this partnership, Michigan-based Bollinger and its national dealer network will provide customers access to EO Charging’s electrification solutions. EO Charging will deliver its full charge assurance solution — including charger installation, a complete tech stack and 24/7 support — to ensure more than 99 percent uptime, Bollinger said.

EO Charging has demonstrated its capabilities through more than 50 million charging sessions delivered via its EO Cloud solution. The company has over 100,000 charging units deployed globally across more than 1,700 charging sites, Bollinger said.

“Electrifying a commercial fleet can feel like a daunting challenge, with many unknowns in infrastructure, scalability and cost,” said Jim Connelly, Bollinger’s chief revenue officer. “Our partnership with EO Charging eliminates those uncertainties by giving fleet managers access to the expertise, equipment and end-to-end solutions needed to make electrification seamless and efficient.”

According to Bollinger, EO Charging’s approach includes planning, development and construction of charging infrastructure, along with charging hardware and management software solutions. This end-to-end support ensures fleet managers can add electric trucks while optimizing their operations, Bollinger said.

The Bollinger B4 Chassis Cab, an all-electric Class 4 commercial truck, is fully compatible with all applicable EO Charging hardware. The company said it began delivering B4 vehicles to customers in October.
