Mullen Makes New Delivery of EVs to UNC Charlotte
Mullen Automotive (NASDAQ:MULN) announced today that UNC Charlotte (The University of North Carolina at Charlotte) will be taking delivery of an additional 8 Mullen EV cargo vans.
This is the second vehicle order for UNC Charlotte, with a total of 15 vehicles to be utilized across the university’s campus.
UNC’s first order of seven Mullen EV cargo vans was delivered in March of 2023.
Vehicle orders are being fulfilled through Randy Marion Automotive, a distributor of Mullen’s commercial EVs.
UNC Charlotte, North Carolina’s urban research university, founded in 1946, purchased the Mullen EV cargo vans for use across its 1,000-acre Charlotte campus and more than 29,500 students.
The EV cargo vans are being used for a variety of university use cases, including campus delivery and facility services.
Mullen Automotive stock continues to get beat by short sellers despite several positive developments.
The company announced last week that it is looking into the possibility of manipulation and illegal shorting activity in the stock.

Our EVs are a perfect fit for university use, and Charlotte is at the forefront of implementing EVs into their daily campus life,” said David Michery, CEO and chairman of Mullen Automotive.
