Shares of Mullen Automotive (NASDAQ:MULN) are accelerating higher after the company announced that it had secured exclusive sales, distribution and branding rights for the I-GO, an urban delivery electric vehicle (EV). The compact vehicle has already been homologated for the European Union (EU). Plus, it has been certified for sale in places like the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, France and Ireland. MULN stock is up 35% on the news.

CEO David Michery added:

“The goal has always been for Mullen to build a complete line of commercial electric vehicles, and we realized that one of the most critical issues today is inefficient last-mile delivery in urban markets. The introduction of the I-GO, a fully EU homologated vehicle, creates opportunities for the Company in Europe where there is a huge demand for this type of small delivery vehicle.”

With that in mind, let’s take a look at 10 things to know about the new Mullen EV.
