Mullen Automotive Inc (MULN)

From Michery - "Results from a comprehensive 6-month EV market exploration study and conceptual benchmark test indicate that the Mullen FIVE is conceptually highly competitive with the Tesla Model Y and Ford Mach-E. Results will support Mullen’s U.S. Department of Energy’s ATVM Loan Application for $450M."

That didn't workout very well.

But there is more:

"In January 2024, Mullen Automotive, Inc. (MULN) requested a $50 million loan from the U.S. Department of Energy's Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing (ATVM) loan program to support its expansion into domestic battery manufacturing. The company also submitted a concept paper to the Department of Energy for $50 million in grant funding for its battery initiatives. The grant would support capital investment for plant equipment and tooling."

So Mullen has applied to the DOE for loans totaling $550 Million and received nothing.
