The all-electric Bollinger B2 looks primitive but had it reached production, it would have put traditional pickup trucks on notice thanks to its impressive capacities and incredible versatility. The B2 pickup was essentially a stretched version of the upstart brand's B1 SUV with a cargo bed out back. Unfortunately, in January 2022 Bollinger announced it was canceling the B1 and B2 models to concentrate on an electric delivery van instead. Bollinger said the B2's dual electric motors might have combined for 614 horsepower and 688 lb-ft of torque, which may make it tow as much as 7500 pounds and carry a payload of up to 5001 pounds. Its battery supported fast-charging capability and was estimated to offer a driving array of 200 miles. The B2 also boasted foldable and removable body panels that imitate the Jeep Wrangler and the Jeep Gladiator and unlocked unrivaled flexibility.

Bollinger B2 could have featured an all-wheel drive system made possible by two electric motors, one mounted in front and the other mounted at the rear. Together they generated 614 horsepower and 668 lb-ft of torque; Bollinger claimed they would have propelled the B2 from zero to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds and enabled an estimated top speed of 100 mph. Bollinger also said the pickup truck would have a two-speed transfer case with high and low ranges for added off-road capability. Likewise, the B2 was said to have variable ground clearance that ranges from 10 to 20 inches. The electric pickup also had an estimated maximum tow capacity of 7500 pounds and a max payload of 5001 pounds.

2024 Bollinger B2 had said its pickup truck would feature a 120-kWh battery pack which was expected to supply an EPA-rated driving selection of 200 miles. The company claimed the battery could possibly be replenished in 10 hours employing a 220-volt outlet, but it was also appropriate for DC fast charging which may have reduced that time to 75 minutes. Although Bollinger estimated that the B2 pickup will earn 70 MPGe, the EPA hadn't announced actual fuel-economy figures.

Versatility triumphed over comfort in the B2 pickup truck. Among the trucks' most defining features was a hollowed-out interior that allowed something up to 16 feet long to feed its center. The cabin also had a fold-away rear wall—yes, much like the "Midgate" on the initial Chevy Avalanche—that opened it up and extended the 5-foot-9-inch cargo bed by significantly more than two feet. Similar to the aforementioned Jeep products, the B2 had removable body panels that included the doors, windows, roof panels, and windshield.

imageThe list of infotainment and connectivity features was short and unremarkable. Alongside standard Bluetooth, the B2 was slated to supply six 110-volt outlets and an unspecified audio system. Considering that the B2 pickup would have been a Class 3 work truck, it bypassed certain government regulations that required airbags and crash testing.
