Watch the live premiere of the Bollinger B1 electric SUV here

Friday, 27 September 2019

The long awaited premiere of the awesome Bollinger B1 electric SUV and B2 electric pick up is happening today and you can watch it live, right here.

Bollinger says it has more than 30,000 reservations for its brilliantly boxy all-electric off-roader and plans to start building the B1 in 2019 this year, with the first deliveries taking place in 2020.

Unlike the more stylish Rivian electric pick up and SUV, the Bollinger is pure functionality, offering a remarkable 305mm of wheel travel and 470mm of ground clearance.

The B1 also packs approach and departure angles of 56 and 54 degrees respectively, meaning that there is very little it couldn't crawl over.
