CHICAGO — Illinois businesses looking to electrify their fleets can now tap into major savings thanks to a new partnership between Mullen Automotive and ComEd, Illinois’ largest electric utility.
The program allows qualifying businesses to receive up to $15,000 in combined incentives on each Mullen ONE Class 1 EV cargo van purchased or leased — providing a significant cost-cutting edge for small business owners and fleet managers aiming to go electric.
Here’s How the Savings Break Down
According to a press release from Mullen Automotive, the $15,000 savings includes two major incentives:
-
$10,000 through the ComEd EV Rebate Program, which supports fleet electrification for small commercial vehicles.
-
An additional $5,000 discount from Mullen Automotive itself.
This stacked rebate opportunity brings the net cost of Mullen’s Class 1 vans significantly lower, making it one of the most competitive options on the market.
Eligibility Requirements
To qualify for the ComEd EV rebate, Illinois-based businesses must meet the following conditions:
-
Purchase or lease a Mullen ONE Class 1 van through an approved dealer.
-
Be located within ComEd’s utility service area.
-
Submit an application and meet criteria related to commercial fleet use.
ComEd’s EV Fleet Rebate Program is part of the broader statewide electrification initiative supported by Illinois lawmakers and regulators to reduce carbon emissions and modernize the transportation sector.
Why This Matters for Local Businesses
Mullen’s EV vans are designed for last-mile delivery and local service fleets, with features like:
-
Compact footprint for urban deliveries
-
Zero emissions
-
Lower maintenance costs
-
Estimated range of up to 110 miles per charge
With fuel prices fluctuating and federal and state agencies pushing for cleaner transport, this rebate offers a rare financial window to make the transition.
According to Mullen’s CEO David Michery:
“We are pleased to support ComEd’s rebate program and help Illinois businesses lower their operating costs while driving innovation.”
What’s Next for Mullen in Illinois?
Mullen’s footprint in Illinois continues to grow as it targets commercial clients and city government fleets alike. With clean energy mandates increasing across the Midwest, the company hopes programs like this will lead to wider EV adoption and cleaner air in urban areas like Chicago, Aurora, and Joliet.
