Home services are an essential part of the U.S. economy, according to Mullen, contributing significantly to job creation and economic expansion. For operators in this space, managing expenses, particularly transportation costs, is critical to ensuring profitability. With transportation expenses often accounting for over 30% of operating costs, businesses in the home service industry face a growing need for cost-saving solutions.
The Mullen One all-electric cargo van offers home service businesses a unique opportunity to reduce transportation expenses, improve operational efficiency, and make a positive impact on the environment.
Key Benefits of the Mullen One for home service businesses, according to Mullen, are:
Significant cost savings: The Mullen One's all-electric powertrain can reduce transportation costs by cutting fuel expenses up to 57% and eliminates the unpredictable fluctuations in fuel prices that burden traditional internal combustion engine vehicles.
Lower maintenance costs: The Mullen One offers up to 50% reduction in maintenance costs with no need for frequent oil changes or costly brake replacements typically required for gas-powered vehicles.
Affordable investment: With a competitive price tag and eligibility for a $7,500 federal tax credit, the Mullen One is not only an environmentally responsible choice but also a financially attractive investment for home service operators, according to Mullen.
“The home services sector is integral to the economy, and we're excited to help businesses in this space reduce their transportation costs with the Mullen One,” said David Michery, CEO and chairman of Mullen Automotive. “With Mr. Appliance of Owings Mills leading the way, we look forward to working with more home service operators to optimize their operations and bring long-term savings to their business.”

Westland Floral is purchasing two Mullen Three Class 3 electric trucks from Mullen Automotive. The trucks were upfitted by Phenix Truck Bodies & Van Equipment in Pomona, California.
Pritchard fulfilled the vehicle order, which includes California Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project (HVIP) incentives approval for the Class 3 EVs.
The Mullen Three features a tight turning diameter of 38 feet and excellent visibility for superior maneuverability on narrow city streets. Its versatile chassis provides a clean top-of-rail for easy upfitting with bodies up to 14 feet long and over 5,800 pounds of payload.
"Westland Floral’s decision to incorporate the Mullen Three into their fleet demonstrates the growing recognition of EVs as a cost-effective and sustainable solution," said Ben Hartford, EV sales manager for Pritchard Commercial. "By utilizing California’s HVIP incentives, they are not only reducing their operational costs but also making a meaningful commitment to environmental sustainability."
“We are very confident our Class 3 trucks will deliver performance and savings, providing Westland a clean and efficient option for their fleet,” said Michery. “It’s also great that Westland was able to take advantage of the California HVIP incentive, which is an incredible program and incentive offered to fleets in California.”

State & Federal Incentives for EVs
Mullen’s commercial EV lineup includes the Mullen One, Class 1 EV cargo van, and the Mullen Three, Class 3 EV cab chassis truck, purpose-built to meet the demands of urban last-mile delivery. Both vehicles are available for sale and in full compliance with U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the California Air Resources Board (CARB) certifications denoting strict adherence to clean air emissions standards.
The Mullen Three recently qualified for a $15,000 incentive through the State of Massachusetts MOR-EV program and a $45,000 cash rebate voucher through HVIP. The Mullen One is also eligible for a $3,500 MOR-EV incentive in Massachusetts. When combined with the $7,500 Federal Tax Incentive, both vehicles offer substantial savings for commercial fleet customers.
