NetworkNewsBreaks — Mullen Automotive Inc. (NASDAQ: MULN) Begins Road Testing on Solid-State Polymer Battery Pack

Mullen Automotive (NASDAQ: MULN), an emerging electric vehicle (“EV”) manufacturer, has moved to the next phase in testing an integrated solid-state polymer battery pack in its Class 1 EV cargo vans. According to the announcement, vehicle road testing began this week on the battery pack. The company began initial lab testing of the latest phase of solid-state polymer battery packs in January by installing the battery pack in the Class 1 EV cargo van to monitor system compatibility between the vehicle and pack; performance testing also included on-road drive cycles and Dyno testing at an EPA-certified lab. The company initially estimated that the battery pack would result in a 73% increase range of the EV, from 110 miles to 190 miles; however, testing has shown an actual 86% increase in vehicle range from 110 miles to 205 miles. “The first road test has resulted in significant gains in vehicle range,” said Mullen Automotive CEO and chair David Michery in the press release. “Additional testing over time will solidify a solid-state solution for our commercial vehicles. Next steps include finalizing our design and manufacturing validation.”
