 Mullen ONE x Native Poppy:  
 Last Mile Delivery Case Study

Customer Testimonial

 The first moment of seeing the available cargo space was impressive. Using smaller cargo vans usually means limited cargo space, but the Mullen ONE has considerably more than any other we have used. We put the van through a series of tests to see if the 118 mile range is something we could rely on for our daily flower deliveries. We found that number to be really dialed in and in some tests we were able to get more than the expected mileage while in eco mode. There are aspects of driver visibility and comfort (our driver is 6’5”) that we hope can be improved, but for the price and reliability of the vehicle, it was an easy choice for us to purchase a Mullen ONE and we look forward to everything Mullen can do to make this the best possible vehicle for companies like ours that are bringing that last mile delivery on relatively large routes.

 Key Take Aways  
Native Poppy Demo

Charge time on Level 2 Charger was significantly less in real time.

The customer estimates at least a $1k savings a year on fuel.

- Customer Calculations: SDGE charges $0.38.4 / kWh for tier 1 pricing (overnight). We went 441 miles in the first delivery week. Charged roughly 174.7 kWh (missing first two charge data points) = $67.08.
- Nissan NV200 gets 25 mpg. Current average gas rate = $4.90. 441/25 = 17.64 gallons used x 4.9 = $86.44. Savings of $19.36. Roughly $1,000 fuel savings in a year.

 The vehicle achieved 132-mile range, exceeding projected range by 22 miles.

 597 miles

 Daily use for this demo averaged between 5.5 and 8 hours

 Stops varied between 1 a day to over 20
