In Fall 2023, the university launched a new fleet of 17 electric buses and charging facilities as part of a campus-wide plan to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by its 300th anniversary in 2046.

This vehicle order is fulfilled by Mullen’s nationally known EV dealer partner, Pritchard EV.

“We are proud to work with Princeton in their journey towards a net-zero carbon emissions campus,” said David Michery, CEO and chairman of Mullen Automotive. “This purchase marks a significant milestone for Mullen as we continue to expand our presence in the higher education sector.”
