Boulder Electric Vehicle was a manufacturer of electric-powered commercial vans and trucks based in Lafayette, Colorado.[1] The company produced four CARB-certified models: an electric delivery van, a 15-passenger shuttle, a service body and a flat bed.[2] Boulder Electric Vehicles ended production in September 2014.[3][4]
Vehicles
Boulder Electric Vehicles produced four vehicles and all models shared the same specs and functionality. The Boulder EVs were powered by an 80 kW electric motor, sourced from Longmont-based UQM Technologies,[5] with three available all-electric ranges of 40 mi (64 km), 80 mi (130 km), or 120 mi (190 km). All vehicles used lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery packs. The van model had a payload capacity of 4,500 lb (2,000 kg) and the truck 6,000 lb (2,700 kg). Maximum speed was 65 mph (105 km/h).[2] The DV-500 Delivery Vehicle, the first model delivered to retail customers, was priced at US$100,000 with an 80-kWh battery pack offering a range of 120 mi (190 km).[6][7]
Customers in the U.S. included Precision Plumbing, Heating & Cooling, which bought the first DV-500 in January 2012, FedEx, and the cities of San Antonio and Dallas, both as pilot programs, and the latter financed with a U.S. Department of Energy grant.[6][8][9][10]
