Bollinger Motors has made its first customer deliveries to West Coast dealerships, sending three battery-electric 2025 Bollinger B4 Chassis Cabs to TEC Equipment’s dealerships in Lacey, Washington; Fontana, California; and Oakland, California. The vehicles’ total retail value is nearly $500,000.

The Bollinger B4 Chassis Cab is an all-electric Class-4 commercial truck designed from the ground up with extensive fleet and upfitter input. Bollinger said its unique chassis protects the 158-kWh battery pack and components, offering unparalleled capability and safety in the commercial market. 

“The West Coast represents a critical region of the country for electric vehicle success, and today’s deliveries to TEC Equipment are significant steps forward for Bollinger Motors,” said Jim Connelly, chief revenue officer for Bollinger Motors. “TEC Equipment is a well-respected dealer and an important partner for our West Coast success. We look forward to working with them to build the Bollinger Motors presence in several markets.” 

B4 Qualifies for Government Incentives

The 2025 Bollinger B4 Chassis Cab is qualified for federal clean vehicle tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act of $40,000 per vehicle. Additional state incentives can push total savings to in excess of $100,000, Bolinger pointed out.
