The California Air Resources Board (CARB) has approved Mullen Automotive’s all-electric Class 3 low cab forward, the 2024 Mullen THREE, for the Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project (HVIP).
“California’s HVIP approval for the 2024 Mullen THREE is a significant milestone making our Class 3 electric truck even more attractive and accessible to businesses seeking to electrify their fleets,” said David Michery, CEO of Mullen Automotive.
Under HVIP, the 2024 Mullen THREE EV truck, with a suggested MSRP of $68,500, now qualifies for cash vouchers up to $45,000. When combined with the available $7,500 federal tax credit, the net effective cost of the Mullen THREE could be less than $17,000, the company stated.
