Mullen Automotive Inc. — Cyborg Score 4/10

Mixed
Electric Vehicles

Strategic Profile

The company has consolidated operations and reduced headcount and operating expenses, moving commercial operations to Oak Park, Michigan. Mullen operates two United States-based vehicle plants located in Tunica, Mississippi (120,000 square feet) and Mishawaka, Indiana (650,000 square feet). The company is developing the B5 Class 5 electric commercial truck, scheduled for launch in 2026.

Cyborg Score Rationale

Mullen has achieved operational milestones including production and customer deliveries, secured federal certifications and tax credits, and maintains two manufacturing facilities. However, the company faces significant financial pressures evidenced by major cost-cutting initiatives and severe stock price depreciation (trading at $0.066 as of mid-2026). The July 2025 rebrand to Bollinger Innovations suggests strategic pivot and consolidation amid challenging market conditions.
