Mullen Commercial EVs Become Available for Public Sector
Mullen Commercial EVs are now offered through the Sourcewell contract from National Auto Fleet Group (NAFG), ensuring government agencies can easily access a range of vehicles. This initiative includes Class 1-3 light-duty trucks, cargo vans, SUVs, and electric vehicles, all tailored for public sector purchasing.
Understanding the Sourcewell Partnership
Sourcewell is a prominent government agency that streamlines the procurement process for various organizations, delivering hundreds of competitively solicited contracts. Over 50,000 municipalities and related organizations can benefit from these contracts, affording them a range of purchasing options without facing the usual lengthy bidding procedures.
Mullen's Electric Vehicle Offerings
The Mullen ONE, a Class 1 electric cargo van, along with the Mullen THREE, a Class 3 cab chassis truck, have officially been integrated into NAFG’s Sourcewell contract. This approval not only simplifies the acquisition process for government entities but also addresses the demand from municipal sectors.
Benefits for Government Agencies
By partnering with NAFG and Sourcewell, Mullen delivers a significant advantage to municipal customers. David Michery, the CEO of Mullen Automotive, emphasized that this partnership enhances purchasing efficiency, allowing quick acquisition of electric vehicles without the cumbersome contractual requirements typical in public sector purchases.
Financial Incentives for Mullen Vehicles
NAFG’s association as a California Air Resource Board (CARB) dealer also allows them to provide various financial incentives. For example, the Mullen THREE has an MSRP of $68,500, and thanks to a potential $45,000 cash voucher under the Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project (HVIP), combined with available federal tax credits, the effective purchasing cost could drop to under $17,000.
