Mullen Class 1 EV cargo van now available on Turo; largest vehicle sharing marketplace

Nov 12, 2024

Mullen Automotive, Inc. (“Mullen” or the “Company”), an electric vehicle (“EV”) manufacturer, announces today its Class 1 EV cargo van, the Mullen ONE, is now listed for vehicle rental on Turo, the world’s largest vehicle sharing marketplace.

Parasol Strategic Solutions (“Parasol”), a high-level Turo host based in Florida, has identified a significant need in their market for a versatile, compact cargo van. Through their extensive experience in the vehicle-sharing and logistics space, Parasol has observed a growing demand for small, efficient cargo vans that can navigate urban settings with ease while supporting sustainable transport.

“The Mullen ONE aligns perfectly for a cargo van rental option on Turo, offering a nimble, eco-friendly solution that meets the expectations of businesses seeking on-demand, cost-effective transportation options,” said Bradley Shaw of Parasol Strategic Solutions.

Parasol will begin offering the Mullen ONE in the Jacksonville, Florida, market as an initial pilot for its growing on demand platform for electric vehicles. A second Mullen Class 1 EV cargo van pilot is planned to launch in Baltimore, Maryland.

“This is a gateway opportunity for businesses of all sizes to experience the performance and benefits of Mullen’s Class 1 EV cargo van,” said David Michery, CEO and chairman of Mullen Automotive.

Mullen’s commercial EV lineup includes the Mullen ONE, Class 1 EV cargo van, and 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, EPA and CARB certifications.

The Mullen THREE was recently qualified for a $15,000 incentive through the State of Massachusetts MOR-EV program and a $45,000 cash rebate voucher through the California Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Program (HVIP). The Mullen ONE is also eligible for the MOR-EV program with a $3,500 rebate in Massachusetts. When combined with the $7,500 Federal Tax Incentive, both vehicles offer substantial savings for commercial fleet customers.
