Mullen Automoitive stock price
Why was Mullen soaring higher on Monday? The company announced yet another partnership to start the week. This agreement will see Mullen obtain exclusive sales and distribution rights for the I-GO Urban Electric Vehicle models. These EVs are already planned to be distributed to the European Union, with the first vehicles hitting German streets in December. Mullen’s primary target customer is last-mile delivery companies in various European markets. It should be noted that the I-GO EVs are not a proprietary vehicle and that there is a third-party manufacturer, likely in China. The initial cost of the Urban EVs will be 11,999 Euros before VAT.
The I-GO partnership is the third major one this year for Mullen following its acquisition of both Bollinger Motors and Electric Last Mile Solutions (ELMSQ). It also secured a partnership for Class 1 and 2 EV Cargo Vans with DelPack Logistics. Taking all of this into account, it is easy to see why interest from investors is heating back up. The stock has now gained more than 105% over the last week as it attempts to recapture the $1 price level to remain listed on the Nasdaq exchange.
